Cotton Looking For A Bullish Ride On A Sinking Dollar


Cotton Looking For A Bullish Ride On A Sinking Dollar

      With the US dollar trying to test the lows of the month and still being in a monthly downtrend cotton maybe the one to sweep the street on Monday's Grain Report. June 26th's export sales report, cotton had slipped a little from up 12%  to up 11% and still managed a slight gain. Also the heat in West Texas may have slowed up the crops.

      Technically cotton made through that 8070 resistance on a close on June 25th after a double bounce off the 39 day moving average. If cotton stays below the 8220 level cotton, it will try to find the lows again. I am looking for June 27th to either be a breakout above the 8230 or a retracement back to the 8070 level to find support again. Either way I am bullish on cotton.

     I am looking to purchase the December 83 call and sell the December 89 call for a spread price of $1,000.00 or 200 points. You will have 130 days left in the options. For our money management if cotton decides for a downside spiral on Monday and breaks the 39 day moving average on  a close liquidate the position, or if we take a 30% loss on the spread liquidate the positions. Our maximum loss is the $1,000.00 paid to enter the spread plus commissions and fees, and our maximum profit potential will be $2,000.00 minus commissions and fees.

About the author


     I started as a broker with Transworld Futures in 2007. I first began my interests and studies of the markets back in my early years of life, as my late grandfather was a banker from the great depression and had instilled the process of investing for the future in me. I was not interested in the Futures/Commodity Markets at that time. It wasn't untill a few years back that I became interested in the study of the futures market, when I met and became friends with James Garasz (Co-owner/Broker for Transworld Futures LLC ). Since then I have read and studied varies forms of trading options.

There is always various ways to use options along with futures contracts in various markets. The best thing about options is you can make good money management decisions in a trending market, a sideways market, and a highly volatile market. I use various degrees of fundamental and technical analysis along with different indicators to make the best market strategy. The use of a trading plan and money management is the key to profitable trading.
