Re: (Market) Jul Corn

Walter,
            I really appreciate your warnings of  "Big Boys"  buying corn
when I am selling. First let me explain to the list of where I am and
why I am posting these charts. EVERYONE PLEASE READ THIS!
 These signals are just me testing a trading method...I am NOT a pro
trader. My signals can be (and probably are) wrong. I am learning
the mechanics of trade and simulating as real as possible the risk of
being wrong by making these decisions public (keeps me honest).
 When Al Taglavore was kind enough to offer a bit of advice on
my hesitation to make trade decisions, I decided to "Stick My Neck"
out with a signal, it turned out to be a failed signal, but I recovered
from it with little loss (this time). Perhaps I need to incorporate the
COT reports into my method....but for now I want to smooth out
the mechanical techniques of my basic system before I add or adjust
to it. Actually this basic system will let me know quickly if a signal is
right or wrong, I am just perfecting the methods of damage control,
after all its easy to trade if things go as planned. <g>

   Adam
