Short Corn

Corn (September contract) completed a small head and shoulder continuation pattern. I am short with a stop at 565.5 and a target of 528.

How I Advance Stops

I move my stops at my own discretion. I do not have a fixed plan. For instance, bitcoin broke out from a large head and shoulder pattern. It than consolidated above the neckline and formed a small pennant. Once it broke out from the pennant, I moved my stops right below the pennant at 27680 mark.

Possible Trades

Japan’s market looks set to break out on the upside. I am willing to go long with a close above 28.6K

Oats is making a rectangle. I am willing to go short with a break below 315.

The ultra 10-year appears to be making a bottom here. I am willing to go long with a break above 124.

I am becoming very tempted to go bottom hunting in Natural Gas.

Long INTC

I took a small long position in INTC with a stop at 30.3 and a target of 37. It broke out a few days ago but I decided to wait for a pullback to go long.
