K DELTA 2016: Commodity futures trading system
Updated 07-15-16
The major blue chip indices of the SP 500 and DJIA have easily surged to new highs after a year of consolidation. Our KDelta breakout model indicated a bullish breakout that we declined to report as it’s designed for a futures contract and given the length of the formation only a cash index could be used. If the cash projections have validity, then a SP 500 Index projection could reach 2220 to 2260 this year and over 19,000 on the Dow. Short term overbought conditions are just now beginning to be registered and hopefully a mild correction will set up new Buy signals here.
In other markets we have no open trades. Our recent Cotton and Coffee trades both had huge surges to the upside. Unfortunately we exited our Cotton half way through a near record 2 day price jump (yet +104%/contract profit) and we were stopped out of Coffee just prior to it realizing our forecast.
The Pound surged on the sudden announcement that UK’s Prime Minister election would occur months ahead of time, rising on the “hope” factor. It may be hard for more news to send the Pound much higher for now allowing other currencies to reveal underlying trends, yet we would note that Commitment of Traders positons favor the upside. The Dollar is poised to move mildly higher and the Canadian lower.
KDelta profit YTD=$24,936=249%:
