The system had buy signals for Copper and Unleaded Gas. We already have positions in the hypothetical portfolio for these commodities so no activity is required. There were no exit signals.
Hurricane Harvey is still churning in southeast Texas as I type this after it crashed ashore as a category 4 hurricane. I believe that there will be significant disruption in the unleaded gas markets with so much of the nation’s refining capacity spread from Corpus Christi to Houston and further east, areas that are now receiving record rainfall and are expecting catastrophic flooding. I’m expecting some volatility on the markets when the open comes Sunday evening, but I don’t have a crystal ball to tell me the direction the markets will take. I do know that long-term trends are the best way to trade and I believe the hypothetical portfolio is well positioned for the long run. I don’t adjust trading methods due to events unless I lower the overall risk of the portfolio. In this case I’m leaving things the same. I have data going back to 1990 showing this is the way to trade. I’m sticking with it.
