Tater, when does your strategy say to exit a position?

sorry for abandoning my own thread, out of town.

The exit is the next entry, so you always have a position. For example, if you are short 5 contracts, and the strategy says be long 6, you need to buy 11.

I'm working on an update, I think it will clear up some questions.

Fish - I appreciate the info, though I will probably read something very similar when I get to work in 15 minutes. Don't take the critisism too harshly. Looks like it may be 5-10 in corn/wheat, 15 lower in beans.

Wheat set contract highs yesterday, did you buy some? And if it sets new highs again today are you buying more?

No

Seldom get into wheat.....for whatever reasons.

Thus far, the grain markets are fairly steady in the day.

The reason I asked Tater if he bought any wheat on the new highs yesterday is because that is exactly what his strategy says to do.
