Live by the sword, die by the sword as they say, and the precious metals, which have been so huge for us over the past 2 weeks in particular, hurt us just as bad today. Silver dropped an unbelievable $2.07 per oz in today's trading! That has to be some kind of record, doesn't it? Fortunately, many of our other positions moved in our favor, including a big move down in Cotton (we are short) which alleviated some of our suffering.

Our TNR model was calling for a Trending day in NQ today, and we were stopped out of our opening short relatively quickly, for a loss of $558 on the day. Tomorrow we are calling for a trending day again in NQ and a neutral day in ES.
