The system continued to give buy signals across the 5, 10 and 30 Year Bonds. Of note today, there was a new “buy”signal in Unleaded Gas, with an initial stop of 1.5701. We’ve lost money on this commodity the last couple of trades but the system indicates that a new trend may be forming. It is important to attempt to take all the trades that your risk management will allow as it is impossible beforehand to know which trades will be profitable and which won’t.

No new entry signals for our sample system today. We continue to have a sell condition in Fed Funds Futures; I think it is safe to say that Fed Fund Futures are in a bear market or close to it at this point. Our sample system only takes long positions, as I’ve determined that there is a greater expectation of profit on the upside than the downside, so I don’t recommend that you short Fed Funds. Interestingly the Federal Reserve has breathed new life in the Fed Funds markets, as volume as risen from a paltry 2000 or so contracts a day on average in the Summer of 2013 to a robust 90,000+ before the latest FOMC meeting results were released.

If we hadn’t been stopped out of Unleaded Gas it would be time to roll from April to May, but we don’t currently have a position in our hypothetical portfolio.
