Fed Chariman I think will be at the printing presses this morning fueling some mre demand for cotton. Ascending wedgie is still in place - I am taking the view the uptrend is still in tact....for now and NOT broken. I have implemented a stop loss at 1227 on the lot now. If this is hit then will make 7 points on the first lot, and overally probably flat on the whole trade.

I would like to stress the rationale behind the trade:

The price is still holding above the ascending wedge on the daily charts.
Large gap down, usually filled.
Likely monetary stimulus.
Relatively tight stop loss, implies a trade worth taking, if only for a retest of the highs.

Yup, record intact.


Yes out at slight loss on that combo trade. Made on the first lot, overnight, and small loss on the two second lots. No regrets about the attempt/effort.

Currently position: NONE.
