Corn trend?

Have anyone any advice on corn?

I had -several 1R losses on corn recently. Have the market changed or is temporary choppy.

I had 1 init/exit on the same day.
1 had 2 init/exit in 3-5 days.

All in the last two months.

Is it the corn/ethanol linkage in the US that matters here.

I am papertrading a blox system, maybe i should remove corn from my portfolio?

Any comments from experienced trend followers?

What if you had removed say, RICE, during its past thin and choppy phases.

Yes that is correct

Yes i understand, the discretionary view is hard to forget for me in mechanical trading.

Thanks
