But why??! If you were a farmer who clearly knows LESS SUPPLY = HIGHER PRICE, why the hell would you go short? If you didn't already know that, you shouldn't be a farmer (or shouldn't be trading).

Yeah, yeah, we all know what a vicious short squeeze is. But the writer states it's the "companies" not speculators. Now, why the heck would savvy companies like Nestle and Hersheys sell short when they KNOW there's a major shortage of cocoa crop (in another word, price can only go higher)...

Actually, Sun Tzu isn't about ME vs YOU and all that other nonsense. It's all about psychological warfare and how best to use herd mentality to your advantage.

As far as I know, Sierra, Multichart, Ninja, among others all offer volume candles. For example, here's the Quantower chart of time-based and volume-based superimposed (BTW I ain't affiliated with Quantower, I just like their SW.) And as far as non-US data is concerned, it depends on your...

Is eSignal still around? :D Maybe ya should upgrade to something more modern.

And yet you keep replying, just begging me to respond. Well, I hope that wasn't your intention. Anyway, I will live up to my word and head back to my hole. Peace out.

Are you by chance referring to this book?

How would you feel if somebody tried to stuff something down your throat against your wishes? And, even worse, they keep repeating they're "accomplished traders" and they're "millionaires", so you must listen to them. Geezus, these people need some serious help. Anyway, I'm sorry for trashing...

Dude, please STFU for once. You talk too much.

Dude, why did you have to drag me back in? :) I'm done with these people. Thanks for the compliments though. Hopefully, you too will be generous enough to pay forward to other community members. I should say in passing that I've seen a lot in my short trading career, but if there's one thing I...

I dunno, man. You'd think with all the attention surrounding cocoa, there would be a lot of action here. But this is one thinly traded market.

Don't mean to sound like a smartass, but some folks still go on to lose their shirts even if they know all about economic indicators, market sentiment, and geopolitical events. I don't think they are the reasons why 90% of traders lose. The main reason they lose is because of their...

Because of this, a couple things can happen in the foreseeable future. First, manufacturers can switch over to using a substitute for cocoa, just as sweeteners went from sugar to corn starch. Second solution, which is more depressing IMO, is that the planters will go the GMO route. The sugar...

Not surprisingly, we're flirting with 69K again.

By your own admission, he is a "managing partner" and not an "analyst". If he were an analyst, especially a sell-side analyst as someone already noted above, he most likely would get a call from the SEC.

You would be better off clipping Hershey's coupons. :D $10k doesn't mean crap if there's no cocoa to ship. As I said above, I think the problem is much more grave than what we're hearing in the news.

There's a real disconnect between the chart and the underlying macro. I'm beginning to believe the problem is a lot more dire than we're told and, obviously, what we see on the chart is not an accurate reflection of what's happening on the ground.

I haven't touched cattle futures for eons but this one definitely looks ripe to be thrown in the BBQ pit.

Which is pretty much the same thing as saying "this time it's different" by the delusional bulls. But I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that they both might be right.
