Grains Market Trading

Grains Trading Defined and Explained

Grain trading has been around since the beginning of civilization. The futures contracts of today are cousins of ancient trading and are as important now as they were then. In history, grain merchants and grain traders took huge risks, and the whole enterprise was speculative. Rains could affect the harvest, storms at sea could sink a ship, and there was always the risk of pirates. While today’s grain traders do not typically have to deal with pirates, they continue to need ways to help stabilize grain prices and profit from grain trading while minimizing their risk from external factors. That’s where grain trading futures and options come into play.

 

Grains Trading Prices/Rates

Grain Trading has the advantage of having two different levels to trade on. These levels are in response to growers typically taking larger contracts. These full and mini-sized contracts allow grain traders to choose the product size that best meets their needs.

 

Grains Market Investing

Investing in grains provides growers with a risk management tool to protect the price of their expected purchase or sale of physical grain or oilseeds. It also allows traders to participate in the agricultural markets without holding a physical market position.

Grains Trading Strategy

The Chicago Board of trade acts as the primary intermediary for trading grains futures. A CBOT agricultural futures contract is simply an agreement to buy or sell grain or oilseeds at some later time at a price agreed upon today. Futures contracts are standardized with regards to the quantity, quality, time and place of delivery. The variable in a specific grain futures contract is price.

After gaining an understanding of the production cycles of grains and their related products, it is important to recognize how that knowledge combines with economic factors that affect each industry. When grain traders approach the industry, they rely on supply and demand factors, as well as an understanding of the grains product cycle and seasonality issues. Traders need to examine the relationship between economic conditions and grain prices.

Grains Trading Major Indicators and indices

Agricultural indicators are based on monthly contracts. Additionally, short-term serial options are listed for months not included in the standard futures month cycle.

Grains Trading Information

Global supply and demand for grains and oilseeds are hosted at the Chicago Board of Trade in the form of bids, or expressions to buy, and offers, or expressions to sell. Because most of the grain trades in the U.S., there is a strong correlation between the Chicago Board of Trade agricultural futures prices and the prices in the physical commodity markets.

Grains Trading History

The grain trade had been important as far back as when Egyptian merchants supplied Rome. The Mediterranean grain trade was so important that the nineteenth-century Italian historian Lodovico Bianchini indicated that grain was responsible for more espionage than the Inquisition. Today, the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), established in 1848, is a leading futures and options exchange in the grain futures market.



* VantagePoint's accuracy statistics were computed on out-of-sample price data utilizing neural networks trained on both single market and intermarket data and relate to the Neural Index which indicates whether the average of tomorrow’s typical price and the typical price of the day after tomorrow (both unknowns at this time) are expected to be higher or lower than the average of yesterday's typical price and the typical price of the day before yesterday. The numerical value of the Neural Index, either a one (1) or a zero (0) thereby indicates whether or not the trend direction is expected to be higher or lower for each target market over the next two days. A Neural Network accuracy statistic of 80% does not mean that eight out of ten trades will be winning trades. VantagePoint is not a trading system that gives the same specific buy and sell signals to all users. It is a technical forecasting tool that is comprised of proprietary forecasting indicators that apply neural networks to market data for the purpose of finding patterns and relationships between markets and then using this information to make futuristic forecasts. Using these indicators each trader determines his or her own entries, exits and stop placements which may vary from those of other traders due to differences among traders in trading style, objectives, risk propensity, account size and number of contracts involved, thereby producing different trading results from one trader to another. Futures and options trading involves risk, is not for every trader, and only risk capital should be used.
