Corn Futures Seasonal Trading Ideas
Summer seasonal trade idea in cornContinue reading on TraderPlanet.com
Each individual locale has a relatively unique planting and harvest cycle; further, crops around the world face various windows of opportunity for the optimal growing season. Nevertheless, as a U.S. based commodity trader, the focus should primarily be on the domestic crop cycles because it is these that will have the largest impact on the Chicago Board of Trade corn futures contract. Additionally, U.S. corn production accounts for between 35 to 40% of world production, making the U.S. crop critical to global supply and demand fundamentals. These annual planting and harvest cycles, produce recognizable price patterns in the futures markets that might be useful to speculators.
As mentioned, the exact growing cycle is dependent on local climate and weather but in general U.S. corn producers plant their crops in early April through mid-June. In a normal year (if such a thing exists), corn futures prices tend to peak in June as planting is completed and uncertainty regarding the quantity of planted acres begins to dissipate. However, in a perfect weather and circumstances year, such as 2014, the corn market can trade counter to seasonal tendencies.

What is next for crude oil skee daddy?
Jim Cramer's "Off the Charts" segment used Carley Garner's crude oil chart analysis in the May 28th show!The strength in oil prices may not be terribly long-lasting.
That's the broad takeaway from technical analysis provided by Carley Garner, author of "A Trader's First Book on Commodities."
Although Jim Cramer is first and foremost a fundamental investor, he often turns to technical analysis for insights, especially when an analyst has an impressive track record.
And Cramer says few analysts have been more accurate than Garner. "So, when Garner says to be cautious about crude, I take her seriously."

Novice options traders can fall into the trap of believing that making money in the options market is as easy as selling options premiums and waiting for time to go by, forgetting that options sellers face unlimited risk.
Options sellers can improve their success if they actively manage trades by averaging in and out using volatility as entry and exit signals and reading the options market's emotions.

Dollar Index Currency Futures
Unfortunately, traders tend to migrate to what is comfortable; as a result, the dollar index has a tendency to get overlooked. Nonetheless, I believe that it offers traders some attractive characteristics that can't be found elsewhere.
Currency traders in the futures and FX markets are often overwhelmed by the complexity of dealing with multiple assets paired against one another. For instance, factors that cause the U.S. dollar to appear bullish against the euro might not be evident, or valid, against another currency such as the yen. Accordingly, trading currency pairs outright poses challenges.
Traders can diversify currency risk by establishing positions in multiple currencies but the most efficient means of managing exposure might be with the U.S. Dollar Index futures contract. The Dollar Index, sometimes referred to as the DX, enables traders to buy or sell a basket of currencies with a single transaction. Specifically, the U.S. Dollar Index represents the value of the dollar against a handful of global currencies such as the euro, the yen, and the British pound. Because the euro represents multiple countries and is the most commonly traded currency against the U.S. dollar, it makes up 57.6% of the dollar index. The second largest represented currency in the index is the Japanese yen at 13.6%.

See our ES and YM Chart Analysis on Mad Money
Although Jim Cramer always bases investment decisions on fundamental analysis, he also thinks that technical analysis can provide valuable insights, especially when fundamentals are somewhat cloudy.
And with broad market weakness ebbing on Tuesday, like so many pros, Cramer can't help but wonder if the worst of the stock market storm has passed, or if we're simply between bands in a major system.
According to top technical analyst Carley Garner, you shouldn't put your umbrella away, just yet.
"We may have caught a nice bounce today, but the charts of the S&P 500 and Dow Jones, at least as interpreted by Carley Garner, are not on your side here," Cramer said.

Trading Long and Short Vertical Spreads
Vertical Option Spreads: More Baggage Than Benefits?
Vertical spreads are a popular way for option buyers to lower their cost, and therefore risk. Likewise, they are often used by option sellers to limit risk and margin. Yet, trading vertical spreads might come with more baggage than benefits. Like any other strategy, there is a time and place for vertical spreads, but in my opinion they should not be the staple of a trading portfolio.
What is a vertical spread?
A vertical spread is an option strategy in which a trader makes the simultaneous purchase and sale of two options of the same type and expiration dates, but different strike prices. The term vertical describes the relationship between the strike prices while inferring the components to the spread share the same underlying contract.
A horizontal option spread, on the other hand, would consist of options in the same market and strike prices, but different expiration dates.
