From the link:

 

 

Coffee is still in an overall downtrend (see chart below) but if it turns now, it will put in a second higher price low since its bottom in December at 118, which makes it not only a long trade to take, but also gives it a chance to have a major bullish reversal. Looking ahead if it can take out 128 with some conviction, there could be the birth of a new bull market in the commodity.

 

For the chart:

 

COFFEE - maybe a turn to a new bull market

The coffee tuture did not turn up, continuing the down trend (and its bear market).  Profit on short now at 147% of initial margin.

Coffee futures reversed to a long on the close today, netting a 100% profit for the end of the trade, $2350 per contract on an initial margin requirement of $2310.

Does JO work for these signals by any chance?

Gave JO a look-see and couldn't make it work on the back test, probably because of the lack of leverage on the swings.

 

By the way, after a $200 loss on the last long, coffee is short and up a bit but sitting close to a supporting trend line (yuck).
