What a difference a day makes!

Markets reversed directions today, amid concern about the turmoil surrounding the Greek bailouts.  The dollar strengthened against other currencies.  Metals and other commodities fell.  We will exit gold and the Euro on Monday.  We have one new signal to sell short the Swiss Franc (indicating a stronger US Dollar).  Some caveats here: 
  1. the system is only 2 wins out of 2 trades for 100%
  2. this is not statistically credible
  3. during the data study period, the US Dollar has generally plummeted, while the Swiss has risen, so a short signal would be a relative anomaly in itself
  4. the mathematical principles involved in the signal are sound; they are simply a mirror image of analogous buy signals.
Our positions are summarized below.  Have a great weekend, and be well!
