Hi TigerTrader,
I would be interested in discussing more about trading the grains. I've been trading about 2 years now, and have gravitated towards the grains.
Did you point systot to David Bennetts book? I have read that as well and that is one system I trade. Would be interested to know your thoughts on it.
Corn is a very trend friendly market in my opinion. So I like use the COT report to see if anything has changed with in the commercial interest during the past week. Once I've done that i will go ahead and sell options against the flow. Plan is to hold for 2weeks. If the market stalls I then hedge by turning it into a strangle. In this situation I would exit both by utilizing time decay or if the market breakouts I leg out of the winning option and either go long or short the future behind the option that i left on. Plan is always to sell risk, after that I let the market dictate the rest.
the reason I use this game plan is so I can constantly attempt to generate alpha over the course of time while I'm swing trading bonds or currencies for quick short-term profits.
I started to trade the ZC recently in my live test cash account.
(personally, I hate trading in SIM, I need some skin in the game to get the REAL gut feel.)
Not too bad for this past Thurs and Fri.
Here are my trades, just trading the open.
Still have a lot to learn on the grains.
When do the agr reports come out that affect these markets?
Before open? during pit session?
