The Rise of the Commodities: Astro Traders

Recommended Posts

I saw this on one of my email threads, and wanted your thoughts on it.

 

It is a research piece done by Matti Williamson

 

The Rise of the Commodities: Astro Traders

 

If you are a seasoned trader then you already know global markets are being mutated by central banks and governments. It is only a matter of time until your home-made recipes for trading success will rot beyond recognition. There is one market that will be so bent out of shape that even the financially uneducated will be forced to peak into Pandora's Box which was opened at the beginning of 2013.

 

Meet the Astro Traders

 

Fundamental traders chew the cud of key economic figures to produce a fair long-term trade with medium-size yield. Some will drive their trades in accordance to the weather, hoping to catch a rainy day that will fluctuate the market, the more the merrier.

 

2013 has given birth to the next generation, Astro-Traders.

 

The Weather

 

Historic temperatures, earthquakes, tsunamis, sinkholes and tornados were felt across distanced locations across the globe. The arctic ice is melting, causing the ocean's temperatures to rise. According to a recent research made by the Research School Earth of Sciences discovered the Antarctic Ice is melting at a record rate, more than the past 1,000 years. Another research that was based on 50 million laser images from NASA satellite confirms the glaciers are melting at a rapid pace. In simple words, if the oceans' temperatures are rising we should expect to see one of the hottest summers on record, enriched with natural disasters with at least two that will unleash the roughness of Mother Nature.

 

The X-Flares

 

The radioactive flares will be the new, mutated fundamentals traders will use to trade the market. A solar flare is a burst of energy from the Sun's surface, which is equivalent to 160,000,000,000 megatons of TNT. The flare unleashes ions, atoms and electrons from the sun, commonly known as Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). If the flare is aimed at earth, X-rays and UV will hit Earth's upper atmosphere, which may lead to geomagnetic storms, leading to radio blackouts here on earth. Although the radiation remains in space I believe some of the particles penetrate our atmosphere and distorts Mother Nature, which in return blames us and smites us with her deadliest weapons, 'natural disasters.'

 

I made an extensive research on the documented X-Flares, the most powerful flares from the Sun and within a number of days of the event a natural disaster took place on Earth. When the CME hits earth, there are earthquakes or 'spacequakes.'

 

Papua New Guinea, August 2010. An earthquake prediction was released on 1st August following a significant eruption from the sun. A 6.4 magnitude earthquake was felt on the 3rd August. The Earthquake

 

March 2011, Japan's earthquake followed by a great tsunami. On 9th March, 2011 a powerful X-flare erupted from the sun towards Earth. According to NASA, the CME struck Earth's magnetic field at a speed of 2,200 kilometers per second. Japan's earthquake was as a result of the X-flare.

 

The Rise of the Commodities

 

Wheat, Corn and Soybean are extremely sensitive to changing weather conditions. Farmers planted a significant amount of corn according to the USDA to prepare for a tough summer, perhaps the toughest of the century. The extreme weather is likely to take its toll and we will see historic highs for the commodities I have mentioned.

 

I believe the newborn Astro-traders will immediately buy those commodities if the sun's X-flare hits earth, which could generate peculiar weather conditions. In the Forex market, astro-traders will rush into the Japanese safe-haven currency on concerns a natural disaster will take place.

my thoughts -

to present this as “new” is taking an ax to its own credibility legs.

for example, I have publications, documentation, and work predating 1990 on this… and I was way behind the curve then... gann and, more importantly, 'gannlike beyond ganns' go way back

… also have another more formalized/programmed cluster of work from circa 2004

… and another iteration from circa 2006

 

 

additional

my thoughts –

if your ‘paradigm’ is that we are outside the sun then…

however, if your ‘paradigm’ is that we are (quite deep) INSIDE the sun, then…

crazy talk and nothing new - but i am certainly glad my tin foil hat arrived in the mail today, I just could not get the anteneas right on my old home made job.

Personally i am more worried about the loss of the bee population and the subsequent rise of flesh eating microbes and the fact that these astro traders are actually already among us - and not newborn as the writer suggests.....

I am with Zdo (which sounds creepy if said with a robotic voice)- they are already here......

more "crazy" ? Not

 

…certain GOES data has accurately ‘prognosticated’ 14 out of the last 3 ‘weird' and 'really weird' trading sessions.

I have ‘stochastic-likes’ that accurately ‘prognosticate’ 5 of the last 3 turns …

But the ‘stochastic-likes’ are all about turns. They don't give any forewarnings about ‘weird' at all

    • Date: 27th November 2024. S&P500 at its 52nd new peak for 2024; USD Firmer, Kiwi & Yen Up. Asia & European Sessions: Wall Street rallied into the close with the S&P500 and Dow registering more record highs with the S&P500 climbing 0.57% to 6045, its 52nd new peak for 2024. The Dow rose 0.28% to 44,860.3 for its 46th record of the year. The NASDAQ advanced 0.63%. Trump named Jamieson Greer as the US Trade Representative and Kevin Hassett to direct the National Economic Council. Greer was intimately involved in Trump’s first-term trade policy decisions. President Biden announced Israel and Hezbollah have reached a cease fire. Over the next 60 days the Lebanese army and state security will take control of their own territory and Israel will gradually withdraw its forces. FOMC minutes: Minutes from the Fed’s latest policy meeting revealed officials leaning toward a cautious approach to future rate cuts. All agreed to cut the rate by -25 bps and nearly all thought risks between achieving employment and inflation goals were “roughly in balance.” Upside risks to the inflation outlook were little changed, and while inflation had eased, it remained elevated. The implied December rate continues to hover around a 50-50 bet as we await the PCE price data Wednesday and the crucial jobs report on December 6. The January 2025 rate is priced for a total of 20 bps in cuts, with -75 bps by January 2026. RBNZ cut its cash rate by 50 bps, yet the Kiwi gained as traders analyzed the central bank’s rate outlook and the governor’s remarks. Chinese government approved a 500 billion yuan ($69 billion) bond quota, enabling two state-owned asset managers to issue bonds for funding projects aimed at spurring economic growth. Today: US inflation and economic growth may provide clues to the Federal Reserve’s next policy move. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex has dropped to currently 106.459. The Yen climbed with USDJPY pulling back to 151.82, while NZDUSD jumped to 0.5900 despite the RBNZ’s 50 bps rate cut. Oil prices stabilized at $68.84, with optimism over delayed OPEC+ output increases balancing the reduced geopolitical risk stemming from the ceasefire. Gold rebounds to 2653.54, with next Resistance at 2660-2664. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
