Pretty much technical with some help from advisories.

Mostly I've traded just SP for years, a few years ago I took up Gold then Silver.

Went into Soybeans last month and now Cotton in an effort to spread risk.

The downside in Cotton seems to be overdone, however I'm not going to risk much. I have as a stop a number just a bit lower than the Contract Low which was 51.25

I may move that closer to breakeven if the action warrants it. Can't say I'm any kind of expert in AG products; even when I traded them during the 1980s I did not do it very often.

Hard to find reports on Cotton (NYCE), easier to find them on Soy (CBOT).

EDIT:
Sorry for the delay. I don't spend much time with markets or computers from Thursday afternoon through Friday.
