Long YM at 12400.

Looks like we are going to run for the 12200 level and I anticipate we will break it to the upside.

Long and strong here.

Note: my entry was 12040, not 12400 per my last post.

Adding stocks to the mix.

Long 600 AUY @ 17.10
Long 100 CLR @ 83.00

These are both break out plays which I hope will capitalize on strengthening commodity prices (gold and oil).

Exited AUY for 16.99 (essentially BE).

With the huge down move in Gold yesterday and AUY failing to move higher, the odds of winning were decreasing.

Still long YM and CLR.

Sold YM at 12773. Total profit since December over the course of 3 contracts (March, June, September):

+4347.94

Looking at the chart below, I considered selling the second high in early May but decided to hold. Fortunately I got another opportunity to exit at a decent price. Exited Friday because I anticipate we are going to be in a trading range for a bit while we digest that gains over the past few years. Let's see.

Note: chart is of DIA as I could not find a YM chart that spans the entire duration of trade.
