too much work.
It only takes me 5 minutes to look at couple of charts to put on a trade.
Meat is most straightforward/easiest to trade. Just buy new high, sell new low. that is it.

Quote from nazzdack:
1) The "usual suspects": Cattle on Feed, Quarterly Hog & Pig, slaughter numbers, cold storage, the monthly USDA Grain report, longer-term price cycles, large downdays in the stock market, herd liquidation, extreme hot or cold weather forecasts.
2) Futures calendar-spreads can have "value".
3) Electronic, screen-based, trading seems to be attracting more speculative traders who tend to look at the same "indicators" meaning the markets may behave more predictably compared to the pit.
4) The USDA and brokerage firms should have calendars available.![]()
