One of the reasons that I trade algorithmically is that I know that I couldn't possibly arrive at many of the recommendations using simply fundamental information.
As mentioned, the Wheat stop WH12 is 652.5, locking in a small profit for the long position. We are short cotton, with a $1,700 gain on CTH12. However, a new signal has arisen with another system to buy cotton, again symbol CTH12, or BAL for the ETF. Unexpected, to be sure. Finally, even with our long Wheat, we have an independently generated signal to sell short soybeans, symbol SH12. (we'll also exit long Soy Oil) This contradicts the Wheat position, since the grains usually move in tandum. Also, buy the British Pound and sell short Natural Gas.
All the best!

No New Signals for Today
Due to strength in the US Dollar, every other investment was mostly down today. We were stopped out of two positions, one with a gain and the other with a loss (see the table below).
Our short Cotton position gained ground today. There are no new signals.

Setting Stops
Based upon the comments of one of our readers, we have tried to clarify an element of our systems. With our ETF trades, we set a stop each day. Depending upon your broker, execution of your intened stop may be less than perfect. Go to our BLOG Page entitled "shortcomings and limitations," item #2, and the issue of "slippage" and ETF stops will be dealt with there.
Thanks, Larry, for your insights.
Today's Post with new algorithmically-generated signals will be coming up shortly.
