Trading corn futures can be fairly subdued
during the winter months, while the summer
months are not for the faint of heart.
Corn is planted in the spring and harvested in the fall. This
growing season is when most of the action in corn prices take
place.
The winter months usually deal with demand and how much of the
harvested crop is sold on a weekly basis.
The summer months often have a barrage of weather problems
that can keep corn traders on edge with every updated weather
report.
United States (39 percent of world production)
Planting: Corn crops are planted beginning in April and last into
June.
Harvest: Corn is mainly harvested in October and is finished by
the end of November.
China (21 percent of world production)
Planting: Corn is planted in mid-March through early June.
Harvest: August through October.
European Union (8 percent of world production)
Planting: Mid-April through early June.

How to Report Commodities
on a Tax Return
Commodities futures are a bet on whether a
product such as orange juice, beef or wheat
will rise in price.
Investors take out a contract to buy or sell
commodities at a preset price and date. When
the date rolls around, a buy contract that lets
you invest below the market price is a winner.
If the market price is lower than your contract
price, you lose.
You report the results as a capital gain or loss.
Gains and Losses
Contracts are a zero sum game -- for every buy
contract, there's also a seller. When you
complete the contract transaction, you report
any profits as capital gains on IRS Schedule D.
Losses go on the same form. You write off
losses against capital gains from other
transactions. If you have a net capital loss, you
deduct up to $3,000 as of 2014 -- $1,500 if
married but filing separately -- from your
non-capital income. You carry over the rest of
the loss to next year.

How Does Commodity Trading Work?
Commodity Trading
Commodities within financial trading include the trading of physical
goods or raw products. These goods and products include various
foods, livestock, fuel, as well as precious and industrial metals that are
exchanged and traded. Commodities are like trading cash or stock.
Basically, with commodity trading you are making a bet on the future
value of the commodity. This is similar to when you trade stock or cash
that is purchased and sold in standardized contracts.
When buying or selling commodities, you are selling the ownership of a
commodity just like you would if you were to buy or sell something in a
store.
However, because most commodities are not realistic when you're
buying and selling, most commodities trading is mostly looked at as
future trading.
You can buy or sell your commodity at a certain price on a particular
date. This is referred to as forward contracts. For instance, on Tuesday,
you might enter into an agreement to sell a product at $75 on Friday and
if the price of the commodity is $76 on Friday, you can now buy the
commodity for less than it's real cost.
But, if the price of the product is $74 on Friday, your forward contract is
of no value, and therefore not a good investment because no one
desires to buy commodities above market value.

Commodity Trading and the Economy
Commodity trading influences the economy by helping to make public
predictions about future prices of goods that are significant within the
market. One example is oil.
Oil within the commodity trading is the most widely watched commodity.
This is because the price of oil changes daily which has a great effect on
other goods and services that are produced in the United States.
People who trade take this into account because oil supply and demand,
politics and geography all influence and affect oil prices.

Commodities Trading, Risks and
Opportunities
In comparison to the stock market, commodity trading is a lot faster. This
is because an investor can make money a lot faster when good research,
good product trading guidance and/or good instinct is involved. However,
a lot can be lost just as fast with a worthless contract. READ MORE ''
Therefore, it is important to be careful when trading. Commodities trading
does not require a lot of upfront investment. However, brokerage houses
generally demand "50 percent of the stock's value."
As an investor, you can speculate the costs of your commodities to be as
little as ten to 15 percent of the value. Therefore, it is important to make
sure that one can cover all expenses involved in commodity trading.

Futures contract
In finance, a futures contract (more colloquially, futures) is a
standardized forward contract which can be easily traded between
parties other than the two initial parties to the contract.
The parties initially agree to buy and sell an asset for a price agreed
upon today (the forward price) with delivery and payment occurring at a
future

How Stock Futures Work ?
When you buy or sell a stock future, you're not buying or selling a stock
certificate.
You're entering into a stock futures contract -- an agreement to buy or
sell the stock certificate at a fixed price on a certain date.
Unlike a traditional stock purchase, you never own the stock, so you're
not entitled to dividends and you're not invited to stockholders meetings
Here's how it works. There are two basic positions on stock
futures: long and short.
The long position agrees to buy the stock when the contract expires.
The short position agrees to sell the stock when the contract expires.
If you think that the price of your stock will be higher in three months
than it is today, you want to go long. If you think the stock price will be
lower in three months, then you'll go short.

What's interesting about buying or
selling futures contracts is that you only pay for
a percentage of the price of the contract. This is called buying on margin.
A typical margin can be anywhere from 10 to 20 percent of the price of the
contract.
NOTE: When buying on margin, you should also keep in mind that your
stockbroker could issue a margin call if the value of your investment falls
below a predetermined level called the maintenance level [source:
Money.net Inc.]. A margin call means that you have to pay your broker
additional money to bring the value of the futures contract up to the
maintenance level.

'' Commodities 101''
Overview Of Commodities
Trading
The four categories of trading
commodities include:
Energy (including crude oil, heating oil, natural gas and
gasoline)
Metals (including gold, silver, platinum and copper)
Livestock and Meat (including lean hogs, pork bellies, live cattle and
feeder cattle)
Agricultural (including corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, cocoa, coffee, cotton
and sugar)
Ancient civilizations traded a wide array of commodities, including
livestock, seashells, spices and gold. Although the quality of product, date
of delivery and transportation methods were often unreliable, commodity
trading was an essential business.
The might of empires can be viewed as somewhat proportionate to their
ability to create and manage complex trading systems and facilitate
commodity trades,

Investment Characteristics
Commodity trading in the exchanges can require agreed-upon standards
so that trades can be executed (without visual inspection). You don't
want to buy 100 units of cattle only to find out that the cattle are sick, or
discover that the sugar purchased is of inferior or unacceptable quality.
There are other ways in which trading and
investing in commodities can be very
different from investing in traditional securities such as stocks and
bonds. Global economic development, technological advances and
market demands for commodities influence the prices of staples such as
oil, aluminum, copper, sugar and corn.
Basic economic principles typically follow the commodities markets: lower
supply equals higher prices.
Exchanges
With commodities playing a major and critical role in the global economic
markets and affecting the lives of most people on the planet, there are
multitudes of commodity and futures exchanges around the world. Each
exchange carries a few commodities or specializes in a single commodity.
For instance, the U.S. Futures Exchange is an important exchange that
only carries energy commodities.

Futures and Hedging
Futures, forward contracts and hedging are a prevalent practice with
commodities. The airline sector is an example of a large industry that must
secure massive amounts of fuel at stable prices for planning purposes.
Because of this need, airline companies engage in hedging and purchase
fuel at fixed rates (for a period of time) to avoid the market volatility of
crude and gasoline, which would make their financial statements more
volatile and riskier for investors.
Without futures and hedging, volatility in commodities could cause
bankruptcies for businesses that require predictability in managing their
expenses.
Are You Ready To Trade Futures?
you have to answer is: are you prepared and ready to learn how this
dynamic market works?
Futures do not trade in shares like stocks. They trade in contracts. Each
futures contract has a standard size that is set by the futures exchange it
trades on. For example, the contract size for gold futures is 100 ounces.
That means when you are buying one contract of gold, you are really
controlling 100 ounces of gold. If the price of gold moves $1 higher an
ounce, that will affect the position by $100 ($1 x 100 ounces). You need to
check each commodity or futures contract since each of them is unique.

Conservative Vs. Aggressive
Investors
Generally, the more risk you can bear, the more aggressive your portfolio
will be, devoting a larger portion to equities and less to bonds and other
fixed-income securities.
Conversely, the less risk that's appropriate, the more conservative your
portfolio will be. Here are two examples: one suitable for a conservative
investor and another for the moderately aggressive investor.
Step 2: Achieving the Portfolio Designed in
Step 1
Once you've determined the right asset allocation, you simply need to
divide your capital between the appropriate asset classes. On a basic
level, this is not difficult: equities are equities, and bonds are bonds.
But you can further break down the different asset classes into
subclasses, which also have different risks and potential returns. For
example, an investor might divide the equity portion between different
sectors and market caps, and between domestic and foreign stock. The
bond portion might be allocated between those that are short term and
long term, government versus corporate debt and so forth.
There are several ways you can go about choosing the assets and
securities to fulfill your asset allocation strategy (remember to analyze the
quality and potential of each investment you buy - not all bonds and stocks
are the same):

How To Use The P/E
Ratio And PEG To Tell A
Stock's Future
It is common practice for investors to use the
price-to-earnings ratio (P/E ratio or price
multiple) to determine if a company's stock price
is over or undervalued.
Companies with a high P/E ratio are typically
growth stocks. However, their relatively high
multiples do not necessarily mean their stocks
are overpriced and not good buys for the long
term.
Let's take a closer look at what the P/E ratio tells
us:
P/E Ratio p/e ratio
There are two primary components here, the
market value (price) of the stock and the
earnings of the company. Earnings are very
important to consider. After all, earnings
represent profits, and that's what every business
strives for.
Earnings are calculated by taking the hard
figures into account: revenue, cost of goods sold
(COGS), salaries, rent, etc. These are all
important to the livelihood of a company. If the
company isn't using its resources effectively it
will not have positive earnings, and problems will
eventually arise.
Besides earnings, there are other
factors that affect the value of a
stock. For example:
Brand - The name of a product or company has
value. Established brands such as Proctor &
Gamble are worth billions.
Human Capital - Now more than ever, a company's
employees and their expertise are thought to add
value to the company.
Expectations - The stock market is forward
looking. You buy a stock because of high
expectations for strong profits, not because of
past achievements.
Barriers to Entry - For a company to be
successful in the long run, it must have
strategies to keep competitors from entering the
industry. For example, most anyone can make a
soda, but marketing and distributing that
beverage on the same level as Coca-Cola is very
costly.

industry. For example, most anyone can make a
soda, but marketing and distributing that
beverage on the same level as Coca-Cola is very
costly.
All these factors will affect a
company's earnings growth
rate. Because the P/E ratio uses past
earnings (trailing 12 months), it gives a less
accurate reflection of these growth potentials.
The relationship between the price/earnings
ratio and earnings growth tells a more complete
story than the P/E on its own. This is called the
PEG ratio and is formulated as:
PEG ratio
*The number used for annual growth rate can
vary. It can be forward (predicted growth) or
trailing, and either a one- to five-year time span.
Check with the source providing the PEG ratio
to see what kind of number they use.
Looking at the value of PEG of companies is
similar to looking at the P/E ratio: A lower PEG
means the stock is more undervalued.
Comparative Value
Let's demonstrate the PEG ratio with an
example. Say you are interested in buying stock
in one of two companies. The first is a
networking company with 20% annual growth in
net income and a P/E ratio of 50.
The second company is in the beer brewing
business. It has lower earnings growth at 10%
and its P/E ratio is also relatively low at 15.
(There are many other common ratios to use
when comparing stocks, such as the P/S ratio.
Learn more in How To Use Price-To-Sales Ratios
To Value Stock.)
Many investors justify the stock valuations of
tech companies by relying on the assumption
that these companies have enormous growth
potential. Can we do the same in our example?
Networking Company:
P/E ratio (50) divided by the annual earnings
growth rate (20) = PEG ratio of 2.5
Beer Company:
P/E ratio (15) divided by the annual
earnings growth rate (10) = PEG ratio of 1.5
The PEG ratio shows us that, when compare to
the beer company, the always-popular tech
company doesn't have the growth rate to justify
its higher P/E, and its stock price appears
overvalued.
The Bottom Line
Subjecting the traditional P/E ratio to the impact
of future earnings growth produces the more
informative PEG ratio. The PEG ratio provides
more insight about a stock's current valuation.
By providing a forward-looking perspective, the
PEG is a valuable evaluative tool for investors
attempting to discern a stock's future prospects.

Your trading account is your link to the commodity exchange. The broker’s trading platform gives you access to the exchange’s
main products, such as futures contracts, options on futures, and other derivative
Commodity market
A commodity market is a market that trades in primary economic sector rather than
manufactured products. Soft commodities are agricultural products such as wheat,
coffee, cocoa and sugar.
Hard commodities are mined, such as gold and oil. Investors access about 50 major
commodity markets worldwide with purely financial transactions increasingly
outnumbering physical trades in which goods are delivered.

Futures contracts are the oldest way of
investing in commodities. Futures are secured by
physical assets. Commodity markets can include physical trading and
derivatives trading using spot prices, forwards, futures, and options on
futures. Farmers have used a simple form of derivative trading in the
commodity market for centuries for price risk management.
A financial derivative is a financial instrument whose value
is derived from a commodity termed an underlier. Derivatives are either
exchange-traded or over-the-counter (OTC).
An increasing number of derivatives are traded via clearing houses some
with Central Counterparty Clearing, which provide clearing and
settlement services on a futures exchange, as well as off-exchange in the

In 1864, in the United States, wheat, corn, cattle,
and pigs were widely traded using standard instruments on the Chicago Board of
Trade (CBOT), the world's oldest futures and options exchange. Other food
commodities were added to the Commodity Exchange Act and traded through
CBOT in the 1930s and 1940s, expanding the list from grains to include rice, mill
feeds, butter, eggs, Irish potatoes and soybeans.
Successful commodity markets require broad consensus on product variations to
make each commodity acceptable for trading, such as the purity of gold in bullion.

Commodity price index
In 1934, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics began the computation of a daily
Commodity price index that became available to the public in 1940. By 1952, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics issued a Spot Market Price Index that measured the
price movements of "22 sensitive basic commodities whose markets are
presumed to be among the first to be influenced by changes in economic
conditions.
-------------------
Commodity index fund
A commodity index fund is a fund whose assets are invested in financial
instruments based on or linked to a commodity index. In just about every case the
index is in fact a Commodity Futures Index.
The first such index was the Commodity Research Bureau (CRB) Index, which
began in 1958.
Its construction made it unuseful as an investment index. The first practically
investable commodity futures index was the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index,
created in 1991.

Forward contracts
A forward contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange at some
fixed future date a given quantity of a commodity for a price defined when the
contract is finalized. The fixed price is known as the forward price.
Such forward contracts began as a way of reducing pricing risk in food and
agricultural product markets, because farmers knew what price they would
receive for their output.
Forward contracts for example, were used for rice in seventeenth century
Japan.
Futures contract
Futures contracts are standardized forward contracts that are transacted
through an exchange. In futures contracts the buyer and the seller stipulate
product, grade, quantity and location and leaving price as the only variable.
Agricultural futures contracts are the oldest, in use in the United States for more
than 170 years. Modern futures agreements, began in Chicago in the 1840s, with
the appearance of the railroads. Chicago, centrally located, emerged as the hub
between Midwestern farmers and east coast consumer population centers.
Swaps
A Swap is a derivative in which counterparties exchange the cash flows of one
party's financial instrument for those of the other party's financial instrument.
They were introduced in the 1970s.

Commodity Futures Contract
What is a 'Commodity Futures Contract'
A commodity futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a set amount
of a commodity at a predetermined price and date. Buyers use these to
avoid the risks associated with the price fluctuations of the product or raw
material, while sellers try to lock in a price for their products. Like in all
financial markets, others use such contracts to gamble on price
movements.

Trading in commodity futures contracts can be very risky for the

special advanced options trading info
What is a call option?
A call option gives the purchaser the right but not the obligation to buy an
underlying futures contract. Purchasing a call means that you are expecting
higher prices for the underlying commodity. Let’s assume you purchased a
December Crude Oil $60 call option. You bought the right but not the obligation to
buy 1,000 barrels of December crude oil for $60 per barrel.
What is a put option?
A put option gives the purchaser the right but not the obligation to sell an
underlying futures contract. Purchasing a put means that you are expecting lower
prices for the underlying commodity.
Let’s assume that you purchased a November Soybean $5 put option. You bought
the right but not the obligation to sell 5,000 bushels of November soybeans at $5
per bushel.
How is the value of an option figured out?
To understand option trading basics first you have to understand the meaning of
intrinsic and extrinsic value. The option premium is made up of both of these
values. Intrinsic is the value of the option if you exercised it to the futures
contract and then offset it.
For example if you have a Nov. $5 soybean call and the futures price for that
contract is $5.20 hence there is a .20 intrinsic value for that option. Soybeans are
a 5,000 bushel contract so 20 cents multiplied by 5,000= $1,000 intrinsic value for
that option.

What is a bull call spread?
A bull call spread is a bullish strategy to take advantage of markets with high
volatility option premiums. It involves the purchase of a at or close to the money
call option and the granting of a further out of the money call option.
The profit potential is the difference between the strike prices minus your costs
and your risks are the cost of the trade.

What is a bear put spread?
A bear put spread is just like the bull call spread above but it uses puts instead of
calls and is for speculating on a decline in prices. So you would buy an at or near
the money put and grant a further out of the money put.

How to Trade Commodities Options
Whether the economy is hot or not, an investor can make money
trading commodity options, regardless of the condition of the market.
Briefly, a commodity option allows its owner to either sell or buy a
commodity like corn or wheat at a future date.
You will buy a so-called "put option" if you think the price of the
commodity will go down and a "call option" if you think the price will
rise. And never will you have to take possession of the commodity
itself.
--------------
Learn the difference between owning a commodity and having a
commodity option. If you own an option, you have an instrument that
will expire, unlike owning the commodity itself.
Also, there is no limit to the number of options that exist, unlike the
finite nature of commodities.
Decide whether you think a commodity will sell for more or for less at
some designated time in the future, then buy either a "put" or a "call"
option.

Bid" Price
The term "bid" refers to the highest price a buyer will pay to buy a
specified number of shares of a stock at any given time. The term "ask"
refers to the lowest price at which a seller will sell the stock.
The bid price will almost always be lower than the ask or “offer,” price. The
difference between the bid price and the ask price is called the "spread."
Ask price, also called offer price, offer, asking price,
or simply ask, is the price a seller states she or he
will accept.
The seller may qualify the stated asking price as firm or negotiable. Firm
means the seller is implying that the price is fixed and will not change.
In bid and ask, the term ask price is used in contrast to the term bid price.
The difference between the bid price and the ask price is called the spread.
=================
Bid And Asked'
A two-way price quotation that indicates the best price at which a security
can be sold and bought at a given point in time.The bid price represents
the maximum price that a buyer or buyers are willing to pay for a security.
The ask price represents the minimum price that a seller or sellers are
willing to receive for the security. A trade or transaction occurs when the
buyer and seller agree on a price for the security.
The difference between the bid and asked prices, or the spread, is a key
indicator of the liquidity of the asset - generally speaking, the smaller the
spread, the better the liquidity.
Bid And Asked' Price
The average investor has to contend with the bid and asked spread as an
implied cost of trading. For example, if the current price quotation for
security A is $10.50 / $10.55, investor X who is looking to buy A at the
current market price would pay $10.55, while investor Y who wishes to sell
A at the current market price would receive $10.50.
The bid-ask spread works to the advantage of the
market maker. Continuing with the above example
Bid-ask spreads can vary widely depending
on the security and the market. The blue-chips that
constitute the Dow Jones Industrial Average may have a bid-ask spread of
a few cents, while a small-cap stock may have a bid-ask spread of 50 cents
or more. On a percentage basis, the difference between the bid and asked
prices of the former may be much smaller than that of the latter.
=============
The bid-ask spread can widen dramatically during periods of illiquidity or
market turmoil, since traders will not be willing to pay a price beyond a
certain threshold while sellers may not be willing to accept prices below a
certain level.

Market maker
A market maker or liquidity provider is a company, or an individual, that
quotes both a buy and a sell price in a financial instrument or commodity
held in inventory, hoping to make a profit on the bid-offer spread, or turn.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission defines a "market maker" as
a firm that stands ready to buy and sell stock on a regular and continuous
basis at a publicly quoted price.
A Designated Primary Market Maker (DPM) is a specialized market maker
approved by an exchange to guarantee that he or she will take the position
in a particular assigned security, option or option index

Select a Good Broker
Before placing your first trade, you need to open
an account with a registered futures
broker, who will maintain your account and
guarantee your trades.
In the futures business, brokerage firms are
known as either a futures commission merchant
(FCM), or an introducing broker (IB).
Many securities brokers are also
registered to deal in
futures. You may want to see if your current
broker can provide you with this service.
Working with a knowledgeable broker and quality
firm can play an important role in your long-term
success. Contact several brokers until you find the
right combination of cost and service.
Also, be sure to check the
background of any potential broker
or firm with the National
Futures Association (NFA). The NFA directly
supervises the activities of all futures
brokers and provides background information on
all of its members.
The NFA provides
the complete registration history, as well as
complaints, fines and suspensions for all
registered brokers and firms.
Futures commission Merchant
(FCM)
An individual or organization that solicits or
accepts orders to buy or sell futures or options on
futures contracts and accepts money or
other assets from customers in connection with
such orders. An FCM must be registered with the
CFTC.
Introducing Broker (IB)
A firm or individual that solicits and accepts
orders to buy or sell futures or options on
futures contracts from customers, but does
not accept money or other assets from such
customers. An IB must be registered with
the CFTC.
National Futures Association
(NFA)
The NFA is an independent, self-regulatory
organization for the U.S. futures industry with
no ties to any specific marketplace.

It’s just a matter of sticking with the game plan,
knowing how much size you’re going to trade, how
many contracts you’re going to trade,
and knowing your risk. Don’t get
emotionally involved or tied to a
trade.
