LEJ2021. Live Cattle Daily. In the golden pocket.Any dedicated live cattle traders, I would love to hear your take! If you are there is no need to read what I have below. You would probably find it very stupid. ------ I do not understand the fundamentals surrounding this market as far as when the high prices are. Doing a quick google search I see from the first image brought up that typically live cattle is falling right about now and getting ready to rebound. We have been rising steadily for a while, so I think it's safe to say the market is not behaving to expectation. That makes me a little uncertain, but I am falling back on TA entirely for any decisions here. I hate to buy anything before I see the momentum in my favor, but if I ever were to buy a zone, this wouldn't be a bad one. I have picked this apart thoroughly, and as non-biased as possible, and I think I did a really good job so I hope you enjoy. ------- One thing I notice is that whenever I say "this wouldn't be the worst" or "this wouldn't be a bad one" historically it has been a bad one. If this goes against me I will have to make some conscious decisions to change just a little in that department. --------- Longby emehoke1
Cattle and Corn: An Obscure Spread With Interesting NumbersAn 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 ones). It’s like that math parents do when say “do you realize how much it costs to have a teenager and send him/her to college?” In futures we can trade that, for cattle and corn at least. We can see where base cost of production is over or undervalued and with a bit of patience, these kinds of trend trades reveal themselves. This one has a great seasonal pattern. That is, it tends to repeat itself each year. Not every year, but most years. Research says selling Feeders and Corn and buying live Cattle can be quite profitable. On average, an entry late April and exit late Sep has been profitable every year since 2005. From 2006 onwards: 100% strike rate, average profit $3374 for one spread. Formula: (+2*400*Live Cattle) – (1*50* Corn) – (1*500 * Feeders) Essentially it says one contracts of feeders (50000lbs) plus one of corn (5000 bushels) makes about two live cattle (80000lbs). Some also trade a 1 Corn: 2 Feeders and 4 Live Cattle. Its’ essentially halving the corn requirement from above. Remember, there are no rules in spread trading. Our job is to find the correlations and trade them. Risk: Hmmm, there are two ways to look at that. The stats say the worst drawdown in the last 15yrs in $5400 and that is about double of most other years in that time. So it’s not a small risk trade. The other way is to eyeball a chart. That recent move from +2000 to 0 did not take long at all. Unless get a well-timed entry, then stops will have to be wide - a few thousand at least (about 3.3 times ATR). It’s one where you would start with a wide stop and bring it in should you see some equity. Entries and exit need finesse since it’s not an exchange traded spread. Experienced spreaders only, with knowledge of seasonality. In you are new to these kinds of spreads, mark it down as market knowledge and come back for a look later on. Longby TheTradarien3
Continuous Live CattleWeekly Cont. Cattle: The shaded boxes represent the previous 4 years of price action. Observe: Price trends up into early February. Cattle broke resistance against the (dashed) downtrend line and is attempting to break above the (solid) uptrend parallel line. A break above the solid up trend parallel will be fighting the larger structure of a long term bear. **When it makes a swing low, the reaction high has failed to take out the up trending parallel line above. After marking the swing high, price action eventually moves lower taking out its current up trending line. Can Feb or April Cattle buck the trend? A solid move above the current parallel would target the $130 area at the next light gray uptrend parallel. A move lower targets the lowest solid uptrend parallel between 95 and 100. End of March and July will be time frames to watch for potential cycle highs or lows. **Put/Call Spreads or 3 way spread may be ideal at this current area** by mtb1980113

Potential long trade here on cattle, rejection off the 0.786 fib extension, though there is some trendline support potentially, so this can be longed on the trend, or if trend is broken, short.

USMEF anticipates strong rebound for beefJune beef exports were on par with the May lows, down 33% from a year ago. Exports were lower than the previous year to most markets except for Canada, China and South Africa where official figures showed an increase. Exports accounted for 9.7% of beef production in June, down from 15.4% a year ago, the lowest in 10 years. Historic Seasonality data shows August returns an average of 0.071%, September 0.428%, October 1.387%, November 0.925% and December 0.623%. Multi-year Inside trendline support (A) (now resistance) junctions with 50% fib level (1), taken from the January highs of this year and the April lows. Watch for increased buying pressure above this resistance zone, with a first weekly target of 114s. Weakness around these current levels will most likely result in revisiting first significant support at 100.475. by rapidrunners4441

Cattle prices in Brazil. Time for a REVERSAL!!!!With the high demand from China and some plants closing down due to COVID, the cattle prices in Brazil have just gone up since April. Today was the first real candle but it stopped at he 21 exp mov average. The country has started to reopen the plants, COVId infection likely reached its plateau and we can expect the imbalance of demand supply to go to normality. It is totally achievable to see prices of 210 or 200 very soon. Cattle prices in the US will bbe highly dependable of USDBRL correlation. Shortby LeveregeBuoy5

Live Cattle is bullLive cattle is bull. Early May it jumped from 87 to 94, and next day hitting 98. This breakout caused in the days to follow some oscillating within the 92-100 band, forming a clear up channel. Market hit 100 yesterday, found support on the mid channel level and closed just below 100. I’m pretty sure we will test it again today. My believe is this breakout, plus the upward channel, will result in new local high’s. We have clearly broken out of the downward trend of the last months. Once we break the 100 level, others will step in and this could lead to a decent bull trend. Longby pptw6

LE1 Live Cattle Futures TradeEnd of 3 drive pattern at a double bottom of 2010 and 1.618 Fib of last move. Risk with falling knife but enter with STOP of about $400. Best if you watch this area on a smaller timeframe chart like 2-4 min and watch for a break out candle heading above the 20 day MA or buy on the retest of the .382 Fib from the low. Could consider "COW" as livestock etf as well. Cattle & Hogs trade similar. I only trade these a couple times a year so don't risk the farm on my view! Blessing Longby curazguy5
