Notes: All entries, targets and stops are subject to change depending on price action. Changes and new setups are indicated in bold font. All entries are buy to open (for long) or sell short to open (for short) orders on a stop at the levels shown under Open. If the open price is estimated to be above a long entry level or below a short entry level by more than 0.5%, then the setup may be canceled.  Date is the date of the report the setup was first described. Each position is sized for a maximum 0.4% of initial trading capital, assuming that it will be exited at the exact stop price.
