It wasn't that difficult after all and it didn't take years of studying to understand those little concepts.

My conclusion was the same exact as the one you wrote here: "Here is answer to your question (so you know that we here are bunch of nicest people in the world): - soybean is quoted in cents per bushel, minimum fluctuation (tick) is 1/4 of a cent, worth 12,5 usd. So it's 4 tick to have 1 point/...

I had come to this conclusion at post #47, page 5. On my own. You replied right after, without telling me "that's right, good job". Instead you told me to go study and gave me the links of barchart.com and the CME website, which I already knew and again had nothing to do with my issue.

Look, I don't want to waste time arguing. You have this perspective? Ok. But I think that what you wrote is factually false. When exactly did I ask to teach me an entire topic? Go back through the pages. I asked that question about why my tick calculation didn't work. It was one, single...

What you wrote is right. But it does not fit in this case. I don't know if you've read the discussion. I asked how to read the graphs. No one answered. I figured that myself. Then I asked how to calculate the ticks, since my attempts gave me an inconsistent method. No one answered, but rather...

I think I finally solved the puzzle. My calculation was correct, it's the system itself that is inconsistent. In fact, "unit" for some commodities (seem to be the metals and energy ones) means 1. Whereas for other commodities (food apparently), "unit" doesn't mean 1, but it means 0.01. With...

Everything you said is true. There's no denying that. But if you're suggesting that I should study quantitative finance, financial mathematics, financial engineering etc. before doing a move I have to disagree. The best way to learn it to act. I am studying my course, hopefully with the help...

Hey man sorry if it sounded as if I disregarded your post. I wasn't brushing it off. I was just making a joke. I am not denying that he is an expert, I don't even know him. But simply I already bought a course. So it seems more logical to me to finish one, apply it and see how it goes rather...

Man, doesn't it take you more time to write me off rather than answering a question? Why do you think I am not reading your messages carefully? What did I miss? I have asked about how to calculate ticks from page 1, I have posted a few attempts I did on my own. I was told they were wrong and...

The screen was from the seasonalgo website: https://www.seasonalgo.com/system/multi-analyze/advanced-builder/ZCZ20-2%252AZCN21%252BZCZ21/BUY/2020-06-26/2020-10-08/5/1Y Anyways no man, the man I bought the course from is from my country and has no connection whatsoever with that lady from the...

Anyways since this problem with ticks isn't clear, could you just tell me how YOU calculate it? Yes I can just look at the numbers online or on the broker, but I want to understand how it works in a consistent way.

On one of his posts he suggests to buy a course from a guy on youtube :D

In that graph I was analyzing the futures of corn december 2020 and corn july 2021. The black line shows the trend of this current year. In 2 months the trend should start in theory.

Yes. Before this course I only bought some stocks and I did that with another platform. In the course they don't force you to use this broker but they suggest it due to the good coomisions. No I bought it from a man, but a few years ago I have been contacted by a very nasty and vulgar woman...

I am using interactive brokers with a simulated account. Now I have found an operation which I'd like to trade, but apparently I am in negative of 2 million dollars in my account ahah. I must have done a mess when I was understanding how the broker worked. Is there a way that I can reset my...

So you're saying that this image is wrong? Because from my understanding this is (almost) right and the CME is right too (of course). On the right it says that 1 point = $ 6000 which is wrong, but on the bottom it clarifies that 1 point, which is made by 10,000 ticks is $ 60,000, which...

No that site seems to be correct, the official CME site gives the same numbers. Pointd divided by minimum tick, times price 1/0,0001 = 10k ticks in one point 10k x 6$ = 60k$ Source: https//www.cmegroup.com/trading/agricultural/grain-and-oilseed/soybean-oil_contract_specifications.html The...

Here are some questions: 1. In commodities, a symbol is not expressed in dollars but in points. Those points must later be converted in dollars. Any point is different, depending on the commodity and all points are divisible by a fraction, called "tick". For example: 1 point of corn can be...

Thanks, I'll search that on youtube. Can I ask you some questions about ticks? I think I understood them properly but when I simulate some calculations I get them ALL correct except for soybean oil. All of them I get the proper result (gold, silver, wheat, corn, all of them), but with soybean...

@Nobert You are surely right, I should study technical analysis and fundamental analysis. But I only have 24 hours a day and I gotta subtract the hours I sleep and the ones I am at work from that. I bought an expensive course on spread treading, I studied it but I just don't get some points of...
