Our portfolio continues to gain ground:

Long Copper HGH11 375.10 382.55 379.45 $1,863 2
Long Copper JJC 50.02 50.63 50.22 1.2% 2

Long Zealand BNZ 23.74 23.77 23.40 0.1% 1

There are three new signals for tomorrow, only 2 of which we'll follow for our BLOG ETFs.

1) Buy the Swiss Franc: SFZ10 and FXF. Record is 25 wins out of 31 trades for 81%.

2) Buy Gold: GCG11 and GLD. Record is 27 wins oout of 31 trades for 87%!

3) Buy Silver: SIH11 and SLV. Record is 97 wins out of 112 trades for 87%.

I am going to track only the Swiss and Gold in the BLOG for ETF purposes. Silver does have a great track record; however, the expected profits on silver are the lowest of the three algorithimic systems.

Good luck to all!

BLOG Has a Bad Friday

We were stopped out of all three of our active ETF positions on Friday. Two of the three exited with maximum losses, our worst outcome. This leaves us with nothing in the active portfolio. However, two new signals emerge for Monday.

First, the postions stopped out:

CLOSED OUT SYMBOL ENTRY OUT PROFIT DAYS
Long Russell TFZ10 725.60 728.30 $270 5
Long Russell IWM 72.17 73.73 2.2% 5
Long Gold GCZ10 1377.10 1352.1 -$2,500 3
Long Gold GLD 134.35 132.00 -1.7% 3
Long Silver SIH11 27.590 27.140 -$2,250 3
Long Silver SLV 26.77 26.46 -1.2% 3

Two new signals for Monday: Buy Copper and Buy Cotton.

The track records are as follows:

1) Cotton: CTH11 and BAL. The record is 18 wins out of 22 trades for 82% historically.

2) Copper: HGH11 and JJC. The record is 42 wins out of 56 trades for 75% historically. Be careful on the Copper ETF; Copper futures have quite frequently stopped out overnight, so the ETF is never entered. Watch for updates here on the BLOG.

BLOG Has BLAH Day

After a string of wins that lasted almost a month, the BLOG suffered a number of losses today. The Law of Large Numbers predicts that even when the probabilities favor a given direction, there will nonetheless be losses. Today we accumulated our share. However, nothwithstanding today's action, our year-to-date return on ETFs is over 18%, with mathematically extrapolated annual return of over 20%. The positions closed out today are as follows:

Short Gold Position To Be Exited with EXCITING Developments

On Monday we will be exiting our short Gold position, with profits. We have six new signals for Monday, so we won't be following all of them here in the BLOG. Our portfolio is directly below:

PORTFOLIO SYMBOL ENTRY CLOSE STOP PROFIT DAYS
Short Gold GCZ10 1403.00 1352.30 1363.5 $5,070 9
Short Gold DGZ 15.27 15.93 15.80 4.3% 9

Long Platinum PTM 19.92 19.79 19.47 -0.7% 1

We suffered a loss last night on our Copper futures and did not enter the ETF:

CLOSED OUT SYMBOL ENTRY OUT PROFIT DAYS
Long Copper HGH11 385.75 379.15 -$1,650 1

For Monday, we got buy signals for all of the following: Aussie Dollar, British Pound, Soybeans, Russell 2000 Stock Index, Gold, and Silver. Since we will have only two ETF positions after exiting short Gold, we will have three ETF slots to fill. The soybeans signal will be tracked here in the BLOG, since it is futures only (there is no ETF). We will not track the British Pound here in the BLOG, since it is normally quite close to the Euro in its behavior.

1) Aussie Dollar: ADZ10 and FXA. 35 wins out of 42 trades for 83%.
2) Russell 2000: TFZ10 and IWM. 74 wins out of 80 trades for 93%! Careful, this system has a 3% initial stop.
3) Silver: SIZ10 and SLV. 18 wins out of 21 trades for 86%.
4) Soybeans: SF11. 74 wins out of 92 trades for 80%.

This is an exciting group of signals. Good luck and have a great weekend.

3) Buy the Euro Currency: ECZ10, FXE. 75 wins out of 95 trades for 80%.

These signals have great historical records and could signal a change in market direction. However, complacency is forever to be avoided.

Short Soybeans SF11 1286.25 1205 1236.5 $4,063 2

Our futures profits in the above positions exceed $15,000 per contract. This may increase or decrease depending upon market movements. However, it is a very good start for these positions.

There are no new signals for tomorrow.

All the best,

Dan

BLOG Soars Today; No New Positions for Tomorrow

Gold, Heating Oil, and the Canadian Dollar all fell today, and the BLOG was short all three. These are the ETF positions. If you also follow futures, the soybeans plummeted for a very large gain to our short postion. Our soyoil was stopped out with a nice gain. Note that three of these signals were put into the portfolio just yesterday. In the introduction to the BLOG it says: "there is a time to be long, a time to be out, and possibly a time to be short."

PORTFOLIO SYMBOL ENTRY CLOSE STOP PROFIT DAYS

My apologizes for the last couple of days: the number of days in the positions were incorrect, and have corrected them.

There are no new algorithimically generated signals for tomorrow.

Technically, Platinum was stopped out intra-day, so we will exit the ETF on the open in the morning.
