Day Trading AG Setups.....

Recommended Posts

I just recently started to day trade the grains. Corn, Soybeans, and Wheat. All I have used is a basic box type trade, trading the breakout of a consolidation with tight stops and small targets. Anyone have a few basic setups they have found useful? Not looking for a lot of cents, but some small amounts when the indexes which I trade are not moving.

Yep, I was about to post that link myself, Keymoo.

 

It should give traders a good insight into the grains and why they are often better than the indices to trade.

 

With the volatilty and the lower margins, you might decide to trade these during the so-called "doldrums" or better yet, make your focus on pulling an easy point or two out of them each day.

FORGET EVERYTHING MACD, AVG, GANN, TAPE READING ,VOL,OPEN INTREST JUST REMEMBER

the best technique for day traders which i am using for last 3 years which is almost 90% successful is the combination of PIVOTS FOR SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE , CAMARILLA EQUATION, FIBONACCI PIVOTS AND 5 DAY RSI.

TRY THIS ITS VERY EASY .

Fair enough. You have access to this website via the Internet. So how about taking a screen shot of your setup to illustrate your technique for the Ags?

With respect, I think everyone on this forum is well aware of pivots, fibs and RSI. I'm glad you've got a system which you think works but I don't think it's as amazing as you think it is.

 

You might also note that this thread is about agricultural futures, not stocks.

I can only assume Agrawal using these tools globally (stocks, futures, commodities). Since I'm new to Ags, I'm trying out price patterns, Fibs, pivots, etc to find strategies for these.

 

Yes I agree, charts are the best way to get your point across loud and clear.

For those that know how I trade the YM, my plan is to trade wheat and soybeans exactly the same. I won't be making any changes to my setups, and they seem to work perfectly well in this market too. Notice here on Thursday, we see wheat take off, sell off into daily R1 and then we see selling pressure decrease (showing a strengthening delta) and then price rallies again.

For your pivots on the grains, which session are you using? Day or All? Pit, electronic or composite?

I'm studying that right now, testing out the pivots and fibs on different session types. Anyone has some input into this area on how well they work on what charts, tendencies, etc?

Excellent. Just so I can follow, what indicator are you using at the bottom of your charts?

Thats a Volume Breakdown indicator. It's showing the net difference between the number of contracts sold vs number bought. It's great to see in real time as the buying or selling starts decreasing coming into a pivot point.

Im not sure if its available in a line on close chart like I've got it. It is available as the TickDelta indicator, and I think that walterw wrote one that is an oscillator type.

Just to give another example of how this delta indicator would work...take last monday. Corn opened limit down and wheat and soy soon followed. Notice the buying activity (blue line) diverging with price action at the previous day's low. Not being able to get above this is a bad sign...and then we drop like a stone down to daily S2, where we get another divergence showing us...let's get long now! Just a couple sweet setups in wheat.

Looks interesting. I'll have to see if I can find this for TS, or code it up myself. Thanks!

    • Date: 26th November 2024. Trump’s tariff threats boosted Dollar; Peso, Loonie, Gold & Oil Lower. The Trump trade picked up steam as investors cheered his pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Beliefs he will be a steadying voice in the administration’s fiscal measures, while still following President-elect Trump’s tariff and tax commitments, underpinned. Asia & European Sessions:   Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico on his first day as US President to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China as one of his first acts as president of the US. Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan aims to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP, boost growth to 3%, and increase oil production to 3 mln barrels. Treasury yields dove in a curve flattener, extending their drops through the session, on expectations inflation will decelerate. A strong 2-year auction also supported. The Dow led the charge, climbing 0.99% to 44,736, a new record peak as the rally broadens. The S&P500 climbed to 6020, a session peak, but finished with a 0.3% gain to 5987. The NASDAQ closed 0.27% higher. Today, stock markets in Europe are posting broad losses, with the DAX down -0.6%, the FTSE 100 0.4%, after a largely weaker close across Asia. ECB: Lane suggests ECB must be open-minded on speed of rate cuts. The ECB’s Chief Economist said in a speech on Monday evening that “remaining open-minded about the speed and scale of adjustments is in fact a valuable strategy across various environments, as different situations may necessitate distinct approaches.” This careful, step-by-step strategy enables us to observe the responses of the economy to our decisions and continuously refine our understanding of their impacts.” The comments leave the door open to a 50 bp move in December, but also tie in with our expectation that the central bank will deliver a 25 bp while tweaking the forward guidance and commit to additional moves. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session high of 107.50 and is currently lower at 106.85. Mexican peso and Canadian dollar slumped as the dollar is being viewed as a haven after the comments of President-elect Donald Trump on tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. USDCAD spiked to 1.4177 and USDMXN rallied to 20.74. Oil and Gold lost ground, in part on cooling geopolitical risks, and on Trump trades. Oil dropped -3.03% to $69.09 per barrel, in part on the Trump trade and on talk of a potential cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Similarly, gold fell -3.26% to $2605 per ounce.
