Casual Articles - The Commodity Swing Method, PART 1 - Lock In Profits, Reduce Risk And Trade The Swings
A Japanese bonsai tree is a true marvel.It is a tree, to be sure, but it has been cultivated to be a perfect dwarf, a miniature embodiment of the whole of nature.So, when you perceive it, you don’t see what’s missing. You’re treated to what’s there, which is very little, but still, it’s infinite.Quite a trick, and that’s what makes it both a tree, and art at t
There are a multitude of advertising options on the Internet. Finding the one that's right for your needs can be a challenge.Before choosing a company to help with your online advertising, you should think about what it is you're really trying to accomplish, and what you really need from that company. Your options can range from running a simple cl
Have you ever been in this situation? The commodity futures market has rallied and you hold a profitable commodity call option position. You believe the rally has topped out for now and the market is ready to make a normal decline correction in a bull market. But your long-term forecast says the up-move still has another month to go. What do you do?
A Novice commodity trader would probably sell out now or panic into the first sharp decline, losing his long term position. Chances are he would not get back on board for the big move. Another scenario is he sits through the correction and gets stopped out giving back a good portion of his profits. Another possibility is he survives the correction, the options erode in value and never recover – for a total loss. Another is the market goes sideways. And finally, the market corrects slightly and then goes on to new highs.
Of all these scenarios, the last one is the only instance where he is assured of capturing the big move. This assumes the commodity futures market moves up past the option strike price before the options expire.
Now let’s back up and start again with a different approach. We are at the top of a profitable futures contract rally holding TWO call options. We expect a temporary decline. What if we sold ONE futures contract as a hedge to lock in profits on the first option and to protect against a decline on the second option? (a 2:1 option to futures ratio) If the d
The United States Government has done an A+ job on the upgrades to its NOAA National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration website to help keep people informed about the weather, severe storms and Hurricane threats. In my observation of the government and bureaucracy I can honestly say that it falls shorts of my expectations, however every once in a while I am literally blown away

Hiring a paid forum posting service has become an extremely popular way of getting users to begin becoming active members of a forum.

Sales training is perhaps the most important training in which a real estate professional can participate. Of course, in every state and the District of Columbia a real estate agent or broker must be licensed but without the ability to sell, the real estate license serves no purpose.According to estimates from the National Association of Realtors, there are about two millio
What if the commodity futures market continues up without a correction after we short the futures contract? If the options have a delta of near .50, then the futures contract loss will balance out the options gain. We are hedged. If the option deltas gain as they normally do in a sharp rally, then there is an additional profit despite the hedge.
The advantage of using a future for hedging an option gain is that the futures contract is usually liquid. This lets us trade in and out without a big bid/offer penalty. Using options as a trading hedge is not usually economical. Many options are known for wide spreads due to illiquid markets. This costs you too much getting in and out. However, there are some financial option markets that are very liquid and good for the job. Look for daily volume of at least 1000 option contracts to pass the liquidity test.
