Commodities Breakout from VCPPivot: 24.65
Stop: 24.25
Avg Cost: 24.75

Position: Half Defensive (250 USDs) as stop is super tight and a strong gap down can be multiples of my risk.
VCP Breakout on the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index. Added some exposure to my portfolio with this small trade.
Over all exposure now 12.5% mainly on commodities and health sector. Waiting for trades to move handsomely from pivots so I can start taking some profits, moving stop losses, and maybe start getting more aggressive. One day at a time.
AVD Breakout, another pilot position.Added a new pilot position. Now 9% invested with 7 positions ranging from Oil & Gas, Pharma, Education and Chemicals specialty.
Im trying to put a toe in the water with a "Shotgun" approach meaning im adding different small breakout names of different industries. Well see if I get traction from here so I can de-risk my first tries and build from there.

Full Defensive--> 500 USDs Risk, 252 Shares, 1.17% of portfolio. Now 9% invested globally on the portfolio.
ARIS, Environmental Play breakout on Oil IndustryPivot: 19.60
Avg Cost: 20.12
Stop: 18.65
Risk: 4.85 From correct pivot.
Position Size: 8K (Half of "Positioning"), Moved fast from the pivot and couldn't fill my position. Im not chasing on this market. My risk model changed from Defensive to Positioning on the view that we may still get a bit more of this bear market rally until we find resistance when main indexes find resistance on declining moving avarages like 50 day. 14% invested. Will try to get more invested if I can find more good breakouts. Im not in a hurry. Open positions are working good for now. My equity curve on USDs is at ATH.
