Nice trade on W! I shorted W on the ID breakout on the 29th but scratched
the trade the next day when there was no follow through. There were good
short pattern setups on the 4th and 8th but I was already short beans so I
passed. I was showing strong support between 458-463 so I covered this
morning and am flat, however I think there is probably one more leg to
downside. Looking at W on the unadjusted continuous weekly, yesterday closed
below the 78% retracement but if it can bounce here and hold for weekly
close, there might be hope for a bottom. Weekly S is showing current w.4
however I think it will retrace to the 50-62% zone where we might see a w.2
bottom.

LC is a bit of a challenge at the moment. AGet shows a w.4 which is unlikely
to provide new highs for w.5 so I'm watching for a short. I shorted at 6845
yesterday on the retracement from the lows but scratched it an hour later at
6865 when it started showing strength. Good setup this morning for a long
trade but I'd rather short into at the end of a weak trend than trade the
long side. My daily unadjusted perpetual is showing a strong time cluster on
12Nov so we just might be getting close - maybe railroad tracks for Friday.
Hadn't noticed the H&S setup until you mentioned it, however OBV is a bit
higher on the right shoulder than the left.

The one I'm kicking myself for missing is the hogs - a very clean setup.
Short on BP is looking very tempting, may have a run at it tonight or
tomorrow after I do my EOD work.
