I few weeks ago I went long gasoline. I got stopped out by a few ticks for a loss of $3500 per contract. Gasoline did a 180 turn and met its target today. This would have been a profit of $18K per contract.

I count on trades like this to make me profitable for the year. I could have made my stops wider. Doing this creates bigger draw downs. Something I am not comfortable with. I adjust my trading plan as dictated by what is and is not working. Every adjustment is a trade off.

Silver is having a breakdown on a massive scale. I am short with a stop at 21.615 and a target of 15.61.

KC wheat (September contract) is about to complete a cup and handle. I have my buy orders and will be going long with a stop at 1180.

I took profits. I still hold a small short position.

I am short with a stop at 0.77775 and a target of 0.73875.

I am long crude(August 22). Stop is at 104.5 and target of 124.
Update:Got stopped out. This is the risk of not waiting until close to confirm a breakout.

I decided to take a preemptive short position in the Canadian Dollar. Stop is at 0.78 with a target of 0.73.

I closed out my short positions in the Eurodollars and the 10-year for profits. I got stopped out of CINF for a break even trade. I still continue to risk small on US stock positions. For WMT, I have stops moved up to 152.5.
