Investment wisdom states that “the only bad time to buy real estate is later.” Every rule though, has its exceptions. Current US real estate is clearly in exception territory given recessionary fears, high mortgage rates, and dim fundamentals. Real estate sector is the largest store of wealth. It is also the source of significant job creation. Crisis in this...
CME: Pork Cutout ( CME:PRK1! ), CBOT: Corn ( CBOT:ZC1! ), Soybean Meal ( CBOT:ZM1! ) Diversification is a fundamental concept in investing. In order to minimize the chances that market volatility wipes out your entire net worth, it is important to put your money in several investments with different levels of risk and potential return. This is summarized nicely in...

Energy commodities are a volatile bunch. Amid a complex backdrop of the Russian-Ukraine conflict, a summer filled with heat waves and macroeconomic headlines, energy prices can swing in both directions quickly. From a risk management point of view, one way to maintain exposure in the energy market whilst limiting directional/market risk is to trade a spread...

Gold bug's biggest complaint is ALWAYS manipulation of Gold prices... Enter: exhibit 1. This is the spread between Bonds and Gold, and it has reached maturity and should reverse from here IMHO. With yields at 3%, banks will enter the bond market en masse, hedging that position with a short on Gold. With yields finally attractive, the US DX will also...
DIA - The index ETF I like to trade but never gives me liquidity haha. Fill: 0.544 Fill (after comm) Strikes: 320 short - 315 Long Max Loss: 500-54 = 445 Short leg delta': 0.16 Reasoning: 1. White lines identified support/resistance zones 2. 10% return on margin and 16 delta short leg was below these zones and provided additional margin of error Simple trade...
Trade Credit: $0.55 = 11% Return on Margin Max Loss = 500 - 55 = $445 Strikes - Short 185 / Long 180 This morning I realized that I need to get more capital deployed based off of my trading plan (something I hope everyone has!) As such I went looking for trades, and today is not a bad day to enter trades. Reasoning is below! 1. Recent red days = Increased...
Hello Traders, There is an interesting correlation between Bitcoin and spread of US 2 year bond and US 10 years. Correlation looks affirmative from the early 2020 until now. Even on smaller time frames correlation can be observable. Wanted to share that, Stay safe!
Fill: 0.54 Credit Strikes: 400/395 Max Risk: 500-54 = 446 This was an order that I had been sitting on all day, trying to hold myself back from reducing my target price. Ill be honest, I liked these strikes so I wanted the trade. Reasoning: 1. Large move down today, attacking prior lows - This is jumping the gun a bit as I usually wait for some confirmation of...
Trade entered today based on my thinking that 1. This is our second green bar in a row, and I believe that either we have found a new range in the 190-200 range or we are headed back up. Which leads me to point number two 2. If we are in fact in a range then the 184 short strike is outside of that range and then some, providing a decent margin of error. 184 was...
Simple trade idea here. 1 month out, >10% RoM (Return on Margin) This one was filled at 0.55 credit, allowing for commissions on the way out to be covered and keep the 10% return. I did not love that this was moving downwards still, but we are near the bottom of the range and this trade gives us 8% or so of room. Management rules will still apply. close at 50%...
Spread between GBP/USD and EUR/USD is at high rate right now. Since Brexit 2016 the spread between these two has been between 0.1 (18th March, 0.07093).and 0.2 (14th February, 0,22174). In this strategy you bet money on the decrease of spread between these two currencies. GBP/USD and EUR/USD are correlated = 0.81 This means that they will most likely move...
Boy I must admit, I sure do miss dealing with these spread markets. Far less time effort and less stressful then intraday trading outrights, that is for sure. Shout out to @NorthStarDayTrading for the awesome Auto Support Resistance Indicator. I love it!
Hello guys, hope all is well. Today I got into a SPY $411 / $408 spread expiring 06/04 /21. This put credit spread has a 5 delta which gives it a 95% chance of it being OTM by expiration rendering it worthless. I was able t to get $9 of credit for each spread which would give me a 3.09% ROI for the week. Hope you have a great day
This is a good spread to trade. If you’ve not traded Corn before, just read on, because this style of spread trading is interesting. It has both technical and fundamental aspects and is built on a history of good stats. Corn has an annual crop cycle. It’s planted in April/May, subject to weather issues in the following months, then harvested for first delivery on...
An interesting spread here. I’ve traded this one on and off over the years. It’s a long-term hold and some years this spread just has a nice smooth trend. Think of this spread as a cost of carry, in a way. Or perhaps: wholesale versus retail is a better way to look at it. Feeder Cattle (young moo cows) + Corn (food) + time equals Live Cattle (grown up...
