I don't watch news - let alone trade it - just saw the jump in NG up and the break down of QM... natural gas storage change with a downward surprise... good to be long NG and short QM :) ... but we'll have to see whether this is only a short spike...

Been out of my QMF short at 86.40 with a profit and wait now for the big move. So far (i.e. since the beginning of this thread) my QM trades are about breakeven due to the stupid flipping at the beginning. Waiting for the big move to overcompensate that.

 

I am flat NGH too and not so sure anymore about my long scenario. The next two weeks will be crucial for the mid-term direction. Had my largest losses so far in NG and wait for the big move here as well similar to QM.

 

By the way, my Soybean trade is my best one so far (and the only one where I have been right, right from the start). Still long here. Will add on pull-backs.

 

On Silver waiting for consolidation to finish. No position currently.

 

EDIT: Trying a short in NGH at 3.508. Looks like my original scenario (break of trend line) is playing out.

Went short in Sugar at 18.46. Breakout of pennant on weekly chart.

 

 

I'm betting against Peter Brandt here :)

 

He just tweeted his long bias in Sugar (see chart).

 

I saw this wedge on the daily as well, but obviously weighted the longer-term view with the pennant breakout more. Gonna be interesting... :)

Hi Karoshiman,

 

I'm assuming that you have read Brandt's book? If not, then I recommend it - very practical and realistic account of how small gains are made over the long haul, rather than the usual fantastical results and dubious conclusions. Plus he has a long and auditable track record as a CTA.

 

Good luck with the sugar position - I'm sure your victory will be sweet!

Hi BlueHorseshoe,

 

No, I haven't. But it's on my list of trading books to read. I saw, it has mostly good reviews and I liked what the reviewers wrote about the book (similar to what you say about it). Also, I am a fan of his blog and I'm following the updates there on a regular basis.

 

Re. the Sugar position, I had also a short interaction with him on Twitter as I replied to his tweet about my Sugar short position. Interestingly, I've searched for historical Sugar charts on the net this week and found articles of him from Jan. 2012 in which he already forecasted a Sugar bull market. Seems to be an opinion, he has for some time now.

 

By the way, I went out of my short position today as price scratched too long at the downward trend line. Possible that this was premature and I go short again this week.

 

Regards,

k

      Hello guys,
      I'm starting to swing trade commodities, especially soft commodities (corn, sugar, coffee, cotton, soybean, ...). I'm also checking gold and oil.
      My problem is I'd like to know what is the best broker for trading those markets (regulated, large commodity choice) ? For CFD trading.
      I'm thinking of IC MARKETS who are very good with forex and have good trading conditions.
      The concern I have is that I need a broker that offers MT4 as a platform, and also I'd like to be able to open mini lots positions for a better risk management.
      As a swing trader, I'm less concerned by the spread but looking at the financing fees.
      Wish you have a nice day, and thanks in advance.
      Alexandre.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
