Cocoa and Coffee Move Up!!!!!!

We had both winners and losers today.  Coffee, Cocoa, and the British Pound rose and improved our long positions.  Lumber plummeted and improved our short position.  However, we had a big loss in our Short Gold.  Short the Russell broke even for the futures, and made money on the ETF.  Exit Short Corn at break even.  Exit Short Heating Oil on Open.   

New Signal:  Go LONG Silver:  Market On Open.  Symbols: SIK11 and SLV.   Record: 108 wins out of 138 trades for 78%.  Entry point:  42.155 with current stop at 42.275.

I hope that all is well with you!  Have a profitable Friday.
