Soybean futures declined (12/09) today along with corn, wheat and most of the grain complex.

This move lower for January soybean futures generates a fresh sell signal on the daily chart.  This is the fifth sell signal on the daily chart for soybeans since the trend changed to the downside in the beginning of November.  Soybeans are also showed a sell signal two weeks ago on the weekly chart and is giving a fresh sell signal on the weekly chart this week suggesting the beans may be in a longer-term downtrend.

About the author


Welcome to my page! My name is Larry Baer and I am a senior broker with Zaner Group. I have been in the futures industry for thirty years and my prior experience includes a membership at the Chicago Board of Trade. During my ten years on the trading floor, I traded and managed a futures and options operation which serviced both retail and institutional clients. I am also the author of the Trader's Tool Box.

While I have a strong respect for market fundamentals, I truly believe in the old adage, "the trend is your friend." And I have made the trend my best friend. I utilize a matrix of common technical indicators that when viewed together, generates a much stronger trading signal combined, than when viewed alone. The blend of this matrix with my own insights offers a complete technical picture of the markets. This is not a trading system, but a trading strategy which can assist or complement your own trading plan and style.

If my three decades in the markets has taught me one thing, it's that the needs of traders vary as much as traders themselves. You may think you need full service when you don't, and often, vice-versa. Your trading style may be suited for tailored trading platform you are not aware of. My role is first, to help define your needs and to build a relationship from that point. Choosing the right broker is key to your trading goals. Here is what I offer my clients:

  • Trading Platform matching, training and backup.
  • One-on-one consultation
  • Risk-appropriate strategies which emphasize options on futures
  • The Personal Touch: Guidance, assistance and customization of services

My client base ranges from full service to self-directed. Take a step in the right direction and contact me today, toll-free: 888-281-4161 or direct: 312-277-0112. You may also e-mail me at: Lbaer@zaner.com.
