    Sold Oct Sugar at 1004. Profit of 37 ticks. I have been doing some review of Sugar long term charts and feel that I will wait until an uptrend is more pronounced to reenter. :)

    I've given back a great deal of my gains in the currencies. I will look at perhaps getting out, but I don't really like to do so until we get breaks of reaction lows. These trades may turn into losses, but as I mentioned before, that is the way I trade as I am looking for big wins overall. I have no problem giving gains back in search of the large winner. The thing that I try to avoid is having big losses of capital that is already banked. :)

    I have shut down (sold) the following 3 currency futures:

    Euro FX 1.36450 from 1.35050 gain of 140 pips

    British Pound 2.0215 from 1.9979 gain of 236 pips

    Aussie Dollar .84760 from .84550 gain of 21 pips


    I can get in again long if I wish, however the action Friday in Euro FX created a MACD Histogram Class A Bearish Divergence and I am stepping aside long on that one for that reason most likely for a while unless something turns around quickly.

    I will be looking to get long the energy futures again soon when this pullback bases out and shows some more strength. My Swiss Franc, Euro and Pound futures were sold too early apparently. Long term trends are up currently in these currencies so I will be looking long again.
