Bad Day for the BLOG..........

Although, we show Cotton Long, our December Position was stopped out overnight; therefore, we will exit the ETF in the morning, possibly with a profit.  Also, our new Copper position entered, HGN11, at 403.55, and the stop is at 407.95, just a hair away from the market.  If the stop is hit in the overseas session, it will invalidate the ETF JJC.

We must accept that 80% means 2 losers out of every 10 trades.  As we've said before, the markets have their way of humbling us.  I hope you are enjoying our efforts.  We are ahead of the S&P year-to-date.  We'll document everything in a future BLOG.  Sorry for the late Post tonight.
