Thursday, December 29, 2005

The grains showed some weakness today, which helped our corn position. We exited Wheat on Tuesday at the close, but today would have provided a better exit point. Sugar, Copper and Gold all looked good from our perspective today. Cotton is starting to look interesting, tracing out a large base over the past 18 months. We may be going long over the first quarter of 2006.

Our TNR model made a little money again today, primarily due to our getting short NQ in the morning and riding it all the way down to the 4:00 close. We were long ES in the morning, and hit our money management stop during the afternoon sell-off, and then went short around 3:00. We finished the day with a total net gain of $141. One item of interest is that we are now trading 3 contracts of ES, up from the 2 we have been trading recently. Position sizing is specified by the model, and this indicates that intraday volatility has been diminishing somewhat.
