This is always the case. The trip is that you have to have your position on, in the right direction BEFORE it happens.
If you look carefully, you may find that even if you do not know what is going to happen. That it may have happened before. If it did, it happens about the same time of year. If you took a position anticipating the event â¦
Just to cover yourselves you can hedge the trade with a month that is not effected, in the other direction. This is less risky; they will require less margin. Profits will be higher.

CBOT Soy Review: Soyoil Collapses On Talk Of Imports Into US
-- Rumors Circulate Of Soyoil Imported Up Mississippi River
-- China Rumored To Have Cancelled 4-5 Cargoes Of South American Soyoil
By Tanner Ehmke
Chicago, March 2 (OsterDowJones) - Soyoil and soybean futures at the
Chicago Board of Trade collapsed Tuesday on talk of South American soyoil
being imported into the U.S. via the Mississippi River.
Trade sources said soyoil has been imported into the U.S. for the past
three weeks through Baton Rouge. However, other market participants were more
cynical of the rumors.
"It doesn't pencil in. There were some rumors of Dreyfus taking some oil
last week, but it didn't work out," one veteran broker said. "All we did was
hit sell stops when no one was underneath it. To try to explain it
fundamentally is a crock."
May soybeans settled 29 cents lower at $9.28 1/2 a bushel, and Jly beans
were 30 1/2c lower at $9.14 a bushel. May soymeal finished $4.80 lower at
$281.30 a short ton, and May soyoil ended 152 points lower at 33.03c a pound.
It would be nice to compare brokers and commissions, news and datafeeds, charting s/w and so on amongst those who trade grains or other pit-traded commodities.

ODJ CBOT Soy Review: Soy Futures Explode Ahead Of Report
-- Traders Brace For USDA's New Estimate On Brazilian Soy Crop
-- Basis In Brazil Continues Upward Momentum
By Tanner Ehmke
Chicago, March 9 (OsterDowJones) - Soybean futures at the Chicago Board
of Trade exploded Tuesday, racing higher on nervousness about what the U.S.
Department of Agriculture will say about the Brazilian soybean crop in
Wednesday's supply and demand report.
Industry analysts say the USDA will likely hone its estimate of Brazil's
2003-04 soybean crop to 59 million metric tons, down from February's estimate
of 61 million tons. But market participants contend that the crop is much
smaller than even 59 million. Instead, they say the industry is actually
trading a figure ranging somewhere between 54 million and 56 million tons.
"If the USDA cut the figure by 2 or 3 (million tons), then it will be a
neutral report. But if they take it down 5 or 6 (million), that's pretty
bullish," a Chicago broker said.
May soybeans settled 30 cents higher at $9.47 a bushel, and Jly beans were
29 1/2c higher at $9.37 a bushel. May soymeal finished $5.70 higher at $285.10
a short ton, and May soyoil ended 161 points higher at 33.65c a pound.
