ZMZ2016 trade ideas
ZMaround 390 is a place to play around with a short position, or add to the existing one. It is just a try and a tricky one at best here that could pay off big. Keep an eye on the strength of the uptrend though and get out at the first sign of continuance to the upside.
Daily Soybean Mealchart shows a clear 5 wave count in 5 smaller waves. Waiting for confirmation to short. When wave 3 is extended wave 1 and 5 tend toward equality.

Soybean Meal futures - (ZM1!) - dump it downSoybean Meal futures - ZM1! - It has completed ABC zigzag sequence (or 1-2-3 as impulse). The internal wave counts are also very clear. so stay bearish from current level for target zone around 305-300. There is huge divergence in indiacator indicates the possible correction ahead.
Soybean Meal Making A Bearish Flat - Elliott waveHello traders,
Soybean meal made a five-wave decline, down from 336.4 level, which is a strong indicator that bears are taking charge in the near-term. We can see a completed five-wave move at the end of May, when price started again recovering, however only for a three legged move. We believe a flat pattern is unfolding within a higher degree wave II now, because legs A and B have three sub-waves, and latest recovery, labelled as leg C is sharp and straight, in impulsive fashion.
Ideally, wave C of II will recover towards the Fib. ratio of 50.0 and 61.8 (310/312 level), where resistance will be seen, and a bigger, bearish reversal will resume its path.
Trade well,

ZMN20-ZMU20Another agresive bull spread which is currently with good setup for trade. Commercials have an extreme short positions, which means, there is not much space for further price's fall. Moreover there is a good seasonality ahead, although LTD (Last Trading Day) is 30.6. so we are quite close. In general soybean meal is a small contract, we do not risk much. I have 3 spreads myself. I am aiming with my 1.PT to -2.

Soybean Meal Futures has closed below 60 RSI
The RSI shown on the Soybean Meal Futures chart has closed below 60, and there was a large bear outside candle formation to complement the move down. Additionally, this is the first retracement within the trend.
Since the heaviest volumes are above the current price, I anticipate there will be a retracement into the untested supply zone and then trend continuation.
Based on the Renko bar chart (shown as a candlestick chart above), the price has yet to infiltrate the demand area on the chart.
A big jump maybe ???Soybean meal stayed in this range for very long time. Also except meal almost all ag futures rallied around 10% . Also the trend shows a jump from a double bottom... Anyway I expect a price range between 315 - 343 within 1 month....
Long on ZM1! (Soybean Meal Futures): My 5 Reasons to TradeHere's my idea to go long on ZM1!. This is a 4-hour chart.
First, I always need 4 independent reasons to take a trade. They are as follows ...
1. Location
- Is the price in the correct location? In general, I price must be in the bottom of a range for a long, and at the top of a range for a short.
2. Market Structure
- Is there a double bottom with a breakout? I need to see a 'W' like structure in price.
3. Momentum
- Is there a divergence in MACD? This is one sign that a reversal in trend is around the corner.
4. Volume
- This is paramount. I need to see a bullish trend in volume if I am going long, and vice versa for short positions.
And when I am trading commodities, I need a 5th reason - the CoT (Commitment of Traders) report. In short, I need to see signs that institutions (large speculators) are going long when I am thinking long and going short when I am thinking short.
So, do we have our 5 reasons for ZM1!? Let see ...
We have ...
1. Location: We are in a reload zome (between 0.618 and 0.786). In other words, we are near the bottom of a range
2. Market Structure: We see a double bottom with a breakout
3. Momentum: We have MACD divergence.
That's it. What are we missing in?
Volume: Let's wait until the volume make a 'W' on the other side of the red trendline.
CoT Report: Let's wait until we see a sign of large speculators (red line) loading up on long contracts. For this, I'd like to see further stair-stepping action.
Now, I only take trades where the minimum reward-to-risk ratio is 2:1. The 'W' gives us a nice framework for when to exit (stop loss) our trade. I am risking to the lower leg of the 'W'.
For our target profit, I just extend the R/R tool so 2:1 and see if that is a reasonable area to expect the price to go.
Is it reasonable, in this case?
2:1 profit takes us to :
- A cluster of support and resistance
- Middle of the Volume Profile
These are two areas are where price often settles too ... so we're good for our target :)
That's it. We have 3 of our 5 reasons. Let's wait for the other 2 to come in, and then it'd make sense to go long.
Soybean Meal ready to rumble?Actually, quite similar to the coffee chart previously published, in that the soybean meal has experienced deep correction down followed by a range where Bollinger Band width narrows. WASDE report tomorrow most definitely will provide impulse power that may propel price up into acceleration gap corridors. Tonight looks firm after today's weakness. Buying at the market works for me.
May Soybean Meal Bearish GartleyA possible bear gartley for May Soybean. Above the 20 day moving average. Next target R1 at 313.7
