Have to be aware that a correction at this point could be sharp and nasty. But no reason to sell on this amount of strength - just fasten your seatbelts!

Is there any way you can post when you make a new entry?
Saying Yen here Sunday night is useless if the entry was 200 lower
Thanks

Ken,
Thanks for your interest in live trades. I did that a little while back, but it ended up being quite a bit more work.
But I may pick that up in the future - maybe have an option for live email alerts - if there's interest.
Brett
Hi Brett,
I'm definitely interested in live trades/email alerts...
Enjoy reading your blog, keep up the good work !
Regards,

I really enjoy reading your post and will try commodity trading myself. I would be interested in the live trades email alerts. How often do you reposition or monitor your portfolio to get this type of return? My crappy job unfortunately doesn't leave me enough spare time to stay informed the way you do. I wouldn't mind paying a bit for some of your advise if you could send it my way.

Rob,
Cool, glad to hear it and thanks for reading. I probably take a look everyday to see where things are heading, monitor stops, and potentially add to new positions. Realistically I think you could do this in 10-15 min.
The research definitely takes more time, but I try to help you out by posting things I find interesting within the context of the bull market we're experiencing.
Hear ya on the crappy job and keep the faith - that's why we're all trading, to try and get to a better place!
Will keep you in the loop on the email alerts and such, am thinking things over about a good approach for that.
Brett
