Eurodollar and cotton.

I missed my entry on cotton, hope it gets back. Opened short position on eurodollar today, it's moving against me right now. Sugar and 10 year notes continue to develop.

Mini-nasdaq, mini-soy and sugar trends.

I stopped my options experiments 3 months ago and don't regret it. Why make it too complicated, futures are more than enough to make decent money. So, what I got since then.
I was a little late catching mini-nasdaq trend (was messing with options, lol). I opened long position on March 14th and exited April 4th with net profit $830 (instead of $6000), still not bad.
I'm sitting on mini-soy trend since Feb 28th, locked $1900, rolled to July contract. I'm supposed to be long with 2 contracts on this trade (with almost double profit), but screwed up with second position (put too close stop order, was stopped).
And I'm short July sugar since Apr 20, current profit $1050, but it can easily vanish, since this down-trend, they are tricky to trade, there can be a lot of up-spikes.
So, we have pretty good trends here, watching at 10-year notes, let's see what happens next.

Coffee put option

Bought May Coffee put option about an hour ago. Nothing interesting on the rest of the positions, except mini S&P 500 - it's trying to go up.
