Crude Oil Falls....But It's Not Over Yet!

The BLOG's positions were all higher today, except for the new crude oil position. We are long currencies and metals yet short the S&P. Of late, the S&P has been positively correlated to the currencies and metals, but today went against them.

For the record, the system for today on crude oil is 31 wins out of 39 trades for 79% historically.

For tomorrow, we have two new signals: buy Gold and buy Natural Gas.


The Gold System record is 61 wins out of 72 trades for 85%. The symbols are GCM10 and GLD for the ETF.

The Natural Gas system is 141 wins out of 161 trades for 88%. This is highly credible. The symbols are NGN10 and UNG.

Listed below are the results for the open positions. There were no positions closed yesterday.
