Traders Tips

September 27th, 2008

It seems like people are ready to unload their stocks right now.

You will probably be hit hard by loan officers wanting to give you loans with your stocks as collateral. That probably means that they know the stocks are worth more than you think they are right now.

My advice is not to do it until you think it through.

Grain Commodity Futures Market Analysis

September 27th, 2008

I do appologize for being out of touch for the last few weeks. I have been tied up with the project of originating and organizing a commodity futures trading course for my readers.

I do appreciate the response to my survey although it wasn’t as good as I expected. I did choose 2 people who answered my survey, to sample my course for free. I am working on presenting a college style training course in the midst of a bunch of e-books.

One of the respondants to my survey was picked for free training because he asked me if I knew Robert Anderson. No I Don’t.
But I did look him up on the internet and I think I can teach you more than he could. There is also some guy named Ken Roberts that started main street trading. I think his course is a beginners course to lead you to his “Main Street Brokerage” where he can earn commissions. Don’t be fooled. Main Street charges full service comissions. Be looking for an email from me.

I also chose a person who has no experience in commodity trading. I want beginning traders to be as comfortable joining the same family as experienced traders. I don’t leave people behind. Hopefully the experienced traders won’t leave others behind either, because I want to have the best traders community of all time with our traders forum!

Richard and Dave will have my utmost attention at first as soon as I get my course particulars worked out.

But on to the markets!

The markets have been extremely volatile and I think i said last time that it may be good to sit on the sidelines for a while. Being in the business of futures trading does not give the security of a weekly paycheck. But when the time is right, your bank account will thank you.

Anyway, it would be suicide for an individual trader to enter the markets on a cash basis right now. I would only think about options right now especially if you are inexperienced, because you don’t have to deal with margin, or losing your house! With an option, you can control the same amount of contracts as a big company does but only risk the money you put up for the option.

There are some good option trading courses out there. I know of one I could recommend if you send me an email.

Chicago wheat futures were moving toward support last time, and I said if it broke support we could see lower prices, which we did. It is not looking like a major breakthrough though. The indicators are showing a good chance of an upward move soon.

Corn futures volatility has been harsh for individual traders. Ovrerall it looks like corn is ready to move up.

Oat futures have shocked me. This was the normal time for oats to move up but I guess the price was too high. That is exactly why we keep our stops placed. I think that oat futures had to move down before they could justify the normal move up. It still is not too late for the jump in oats, but it is risky. But I think other people know that too. Just keep your stops placed.

Soybean futures look good. I recommended sitting on the sidelines last time. Right now I would recommend a call option
in beans. The indicators are looking good, but the volatility is too high for normal cash contracts for the normal indavidual trader. Always keep your stops placed.

December Chicago Wheat futures closed Friday at 716.0

December Corn Futures closed Friday at 543.0

December Oat Futures closed Friday at 331.2

November Soybean futures closed Friday at 11.640

Grain Commodity Futures Update

August 31st, 2008

Chicago wheat futures did just what I thought they would, and dropped back down to support. The indicators are a little unsure so be careful. Indicators are up, and support seems pretty strong so it will probably hold, but prices are high and indicators are moving down a little, so if support fails we could see lower prices.

Corn futures stalled at resistance and moved down slightly. Corn prices are high, but the indicators are showing a potential for another upward rally soon. Keep an eye out and keep your stops placed.

Oat futures decided to make a quick drop this week, that’s why we keep our stops placed. Unless you had an option, which you may want to hold on to because indicators are showing that oats should rally soon.

Soybean futures traded sideways this week, and could drop back to support, but indicators are moving up. It looks like we could see a rally in soybeans pretty soon.

Over all, the grain markets are mainly moving in a choppy sideways fasion right now, so don’t take too many chances. Sometimes sitting on the sidelines is your best move. You can always jump back in when the indicators get a little more clear.

Always remember to keep your stops placed. If you have a minute, please fill out my traders survey. Thanks! Click Here to take survey

December Chicago wheat futures closed Friday at 801.2

December corn futures closed Friday at 585.0

December oat futures closed Friday at 362.2

Grain Commodity Futures Market Analysis

August 24th, 2008

I didn’t make a midweek post last week because I wanted to leave my last post up for a while since the link to my survey was in a prominent position, and I wanted a chance for people to see it. I’ll re-post the link for a while, but it’ll be at the end of my posts.

It’s looking like we could see some more upward movement in the grain markets in the near term. The indicators are high for most of them.

Chicago wheat futures made a good rally up like I expected, but appears ready to drop back down to support. I would watch the other grains though and make sure that they won’t push wheat up with them.

Corn futures dropped a little lower than I expected, but proceeded to rise back up last week. Corn hit some resistance, but the indicators are showing that a continued move up is possible.

Oat futures didn’t drop too far before holding steady. The indicators are up and it looks like oats are ready to rise.

Soybean futures have moved back up this week after making that fast drop. The indicators are moving up, and are showing a potential for a continued move up in soybeans.

The volatility is high, so keep a close watch and keep your stops close or maybe buy some opposing options. You can still make a decent return and that’s better than loosing a bunch!

If you have time, please take a minute and take my trader’s survey. Thanks! Click Here to take survey

Chicago wheat futures closed Friday at 865.4

Corn futures closed Friday at 586.4

Oat futures closed Friday at 384.0

Soybean futures closed Friday at 1321.0
