a great way to manage the leverage on futures contracts is to trade spreads.

they aren't what because corn is down limit today you think that magically will erase the last 3 or 4 months of almost all positive price movement? You do realize that corn is at an all time high and that people were making money at 4 and 5 dollars a bushel right? Corn at 5.50 to 6.00 and...

ahahahaaha have a good weekend cutten

drank a little and partied a little which woke me up. anyhow. sep/oct crude im just looking at a chart, i think we will see sep get at least .20 or more over oct. not looking to make a mint just a little. i think that spread bottomed. i got out of my copper spread a little early but friday is...

criv ya man i am overtrading, i have taken a good hit since friday (5 k) and just feel stresses. I have 14 aug/oct cattle on and I am down about 8 or 9 k in those. corn has really been messing with those. i was up and never got out and now i have a big loser. i\i am conflicted on what to do oh...

oh lol I know man. I have traded grains for about 4 years now, and I am just starting to trade techincially. I am still a fundamental trader but would like to add a little you know? So you just watch price and volume. The more I study TA the more it fascinates me. Price action tells you...

Im looking at a corn chart and technically it is looking good, not overbought, stochs or rsi. Bollingers look good. When you guys trade thesse markets technically what do you use? (im newer to TA)

hold em is the most popular far and away probably the easiest to learn. I really enjoy seven card stud and omaha as well. I used to play cards in an illeagal gamblign club and every sunday night we would rotate the table and play dealers choice. (we had actual dealers to prevent cheating) I...

quick question jagmot. are you profitable anywhere between 170 and 110?

Ha ha good call man, I was thinking about this thread when this bitch crashed good call and good trade buddy

i might be wrong but I trade coffee quite a bit and what I've noticed is that there is little enough volume for big stop running to tweak your prices by gapping up over and just behaving weird. I have wondered the same thing though man

Agreed! good trade simpelton. I am flat right now, i want to put on some mar/jul 09 wheat

Hey Jon one thing that you can try versus trading one big contrac. Is to spread i.e. buying a dec corn selling a july corn. It takes a lot of risk out of the futures game. Spreads can e risky (i.e. Amarnath!!) but they are the only way I trade, you cap profits but you cap risk as well. PM me if...

Very true shagi called the hell out of that. I havent heard from him for a while. I agree why fight it, but fundamentally we should see a good sell off. The harvest is massive just running late. the more I see coffee behave the more I like it as a market to trade. It retraces predicatbly and...

one corn contract is 5000 bushels. july corn is7.20 or so a bushel times 5000 is 36 k. futures move so fast and the leverage is a double edged sword. I would agree with the poster above me that you really have to know what you are doing or you will be lunchmeat!
