The Website Change

I’ve changed things up a little bit. If there’s something you want to see added, changed, or whatever, let me know and I’ll see what I can do. Here’s what the website provides.Please note: Some of these pages have not been completed and are under construction.

Chartbook: Depending on my schedule, this is a weekly technical view of the trends, patterns, indicators, and my long/short term bias of a few markets that I follow. I am a trend trader. I rarely can pick tops bottom with any accuracy. I establish where the trend is going and hop on the train. The chartbook is geared towards this type of trading.

Spreads In Play: Spreads are a powerful part of trading. They can tell you a lot about the current trade sentiment and follow fundamentals pretty well. In volatile times I have really leaned on spreads to trade. They are less volatile, require less margin, and they can provide a pretty nice return for the portfolio. 90% of my trades are spreads. This section details the spreads I have money in and am watching closely.

Research: Results and/or data of trading research I’m experimenting with. Whether it is a new indicator I’m trying out, a new hedge method, or figuring out the best seasonal for a certain spread, this is where I’ll post my results.

Strategy: A list of proven strategies in trading.

Grain Statistics: A list of government reports and current fundamental data on the grains.

Cash & Basis: A lot can be gleaned by watching prices trends. In the long term, markets are driven by supply and demand. You can get a pretty good idea of demand by watching the cash market. If the cash market takes a dive at certain futures level, you know that a drop in futures may be on the horizon.

Need to Know: Here’s a detailed look at all the patterns and indicators I watch for. If you see that I have posted in the chartbook of a 1-2-3 top in corn but don’t know what it is, go here.

Tools: A list of often visited websites to aid me in my trading decisions.

FX Roundup. Exactly like the chartbook but only with currencies. Currencies, I love to trade them. I don’t make a whole lot trading them…..yet, but they are really fun to trade.
