The Nigerian unrest seems to have increased interest in Crude, and perhaps the geopolitical implications have helped to bring in a bid for Gold and precious metals as well. Our holdings all performed well today, with the exception of our long position in the S&P futures. Sugar rallied right on cue with energy, and bonds sold off after the Fed minutes were released.

Our TNR model was indicating a trending day in ES and NQ but we were unable to enter our short positions until after the bulk of the morning sell-off was complete. We were whipsawed out of 2 trades for losses in NQ, and only small gains in ES. Net total for all trades we lost $523 today. Tomorrow we are calling for a reversion day in NQ and neutral for ES.
