Five Card Draw

By By Erik T. Long|2017-09-04T18:23:46+00:00September 4th, 2017|

Five New Long Shot Trades Posted. This week ushers in a plethora of new algorithmic trades. After combing through these, I found five that I particularly like. The fundamentals look good and so do the four week forecasts. I was able to find an option trade for each of these that is cheap with large profit potential. In fact you can get into all five for under $1,000. So, for your trading pleasure, here are the markets.1) Cocoa - This market has been good to us in the past and I am looking for

As summer unwinds we celebrate the achievements of the American worker.As many people return from vacation, I cannot help but get excited. Historically the markets pickup in September and with all of the volatility around the globe, this year will be no exception.I have been reviewing the Algos today and see many new opportunities to get into multiple Long Shot trades.

Who Pays the Meal?

By By Erik T. Long|2017-08-26T17:54:17+00:00August 26th, 2017|

Soybean Meal is finally moving sideways. Could this be a buying opportunity? I have been watching this market for some time while waiting for an opportunity to get back in. Could this be the time? After what appears to be sideways movement and at least a pause in the downward trend, our algos gave us an alert.Imports are looking stronger as evidenced by the table below and we may see bullish movement in the later crop futures. I have posted an order in the Long Shot Report and plan to pick up

Hedging with Harvey.

By By Erik T. Long|2017-08-25T16:47:57+00:00August 25th, 2017|

Here is a hedge for our Brent Crude short trade.While all of us hope that Hurricane Harvey will not leave too much disaster in its wake, we need to except reality for what it is and is not. Subscribers of the Long Shot Report know that we have a Brent Crude short position on that has been moving in our favor. Although Crude has been in a tight range the last week or so, we should still consider a hedge against the hurricane hitting major oil refineries. As of this writing, November Brent Crude

Hot Cocoa.

By By Erik T. Long|2017-08-19T23:46:12+00:00August 19th, 2017|

Time to add marshmallows and sip. The Algos suggest that we take profits in the Cocoa trade. Fundamentals have not changed much and are expected to stay the same in the near term. Because of this, I see no reason why we should not cash-in on the trade. I am going to take profits on the Cocoa trade Monday. As of Friday's close the options were going for $320 dollars. I will be looking to sell for $320 or better. Good Luck and Happy Trading.Not a member? Click HERE to join now.Let's hit one out of

Cheaters Never Prosper.

By By Erik T. Long|2017-08-16T15:35:02+00:00August 16th, 2017|

Cheaters never prosper. When I was studying economics, we were told that cartels always fail because someone inevitably cheats.I am reminded of this statement after seeing how the OPEC cartel failed to raise the price of oil as they announced they were...
