After setting a fantastic record month in March, April was a bit sluggish. While we were able to make good money from our income strategies on the Russell 2000, some commodities did not quite go our way. All in all, we have closed many trades in profit. However, since these gains were included in unrealized performance gains in March, the April performance in our real money account did not improve.

Currently, there are no special features that require a more detailed explanation. The only problem child is currently our trade in lean hogs (HE), which is not quite in our favor.
