The NASDAQ 100 and crude oil futures are facing immediate overhead resistance. However, despite some potential back and fill trade, both markets will likely continue higher as we work our way through the positive seasonality. Further, these markets should get a boost from FOMO traders willing to chase prices higher in hopes of gaining market exposure that many unnecessarily liquidated late last year. Never underestimate the emotions that repetitively cause market prices to become irrationally exuberant in the short-run despite valid questions regarding long-run sustainability.

Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money on CNBC, used chart analysis by commodity broker, Carley Garner, on the April 9th show. 

Garner analyzed the NASDAQ 100 futures contract, symbol NQ, in conjunction with WTI crude oil futures, symbol CL. These two assets have been trading with a positive correlation well into the 90s. While the correlation will likely weaken, it will probably remain intact. Further, the NQ is likely in store for a blow-off top in the coming months and oil, after a short-term pullback, could be headed for per barrel.

 Treasury futures look toppy.

According to the COT Report issued by the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission), the record net short position held by large speculators late last year has unwound itself, leaving the market dramatically higher and yields almost a full handle lower. However, it feels like interest rates could be bottoming (and Treasury futures could be topping).

Cramer: Charts show steady investor optimism, more upside for stocks from CNBC.

In the latest edition of Carley Garner's beginners' book on commodities, she details everything you need to know about futures and options trading before placing a trade. 

BUY NOW

In their quest for trading commodities profitably, beginning traders spend a substantial amount of time studying market theory, various types of market analysis, and paper-trading in the futures and options markets.  Yet, almost all of them fail to take the necessary steps to ensure their trading environment is conducive for the profits they seek.  A Trader’s First Book on Commodities aims to fill the void in trading literature that overlooks the importance in making the right decisions before ever placing a commodity trade such as fully understanding market mechanics and logistics, choosing a proper trading platform, understanding order types, being aware of market data fees and policies, how to quote and calculate profit or loss in each of the commodity markets, preparing for margin calls, and the only magic in trading–humility.

 

A Trader’s First Book on Commodities is guaranteed to shorten the learning curve for beginning traders while offering seasoned traders a new perspective on familiar topics.  There is more to trading than computer-generated oscillators and trendlines; choosing the wrong trading platform, brokerage, or order type can do more harm to a trading account than choosing the wrong technical indicator. 

 

"Trading commodities is a game of mental stability; without the proper understanding of the futures and options markets and the ability to remain calm, it is difficult to make rational trading decisions. The goal of this book is to enable traders to create a trading environment lacking peripheral distractions or stress which, in turn, mitigates emotions and improves the odds of trading success. In short, the third edition of A Trader’s First Book on Commodities is everything you need to know and do before you ever place a trade." - Carley Garner, Author

Increase the odds of Success in Commodity Option Selling

 

The practice of option selling is a controversial strategy for commodity option traders to partake in. Many brokerage firms outright forbid the practice; others allow it, but there are often strings attached. However, there are a limited number of brokerage services that recognize despite the challenges of option selling, it likely offers the highest long-term prospects for successful trading. Accordingly, such brokers give their clients the freedom to implement a short option strategy. We are a part of the minority commodity brokers that believe our clients should be given the opportunity to sell options without hassle. Nevertheless, option selling is far from an “easy-money” venture; there is a reason many brokerage firms shy away from option selling.
