    Is the news accurate?
    Is the news current?
    Is one interpreting the news accurately?
    What will be the news next hour? Tomorrow? Next week?
    A lot of moving parts.
    A lot of noise.
    How can one apply the news to make decisions?

    I also was able to watch everyone's position get filed on my desk at 2:00 PM every single day. Chart traders and news traders and a combination of both. We escorted a few traders off the floor in my days there.

    Looking forward to your replies...

      7 years

      Yes

      Who are the best traders is subjective with the answer being difficult to support. Perhaps there is a study to reference?

      Trading on a short timeframe is difficult and technically in that era would be extremley difficult with or without today's technology.

      It is best to compare strategies on the same commodity and timeframe.

      Not many are willing to be transparent though.

      My guess is that those who survive long enough to develop a feel for the tape and the energy of the room would be on your list of best traders.

      That skill can only be learned with much experience and is not transferrable.

      I call this the Art of Trading.

      Buddy, with decades of cash crop experience, who I believe can feel the market has entries and exits which match up uncannily with my technical strategy.

      He does not apply technicals.

      He may not even believe in them.

      It blows my mind.

      I say he has developed the Art of Trading.


      Anyways,

      Floored, is a great documentary about the Chicago trading floors and trading there would have been a great experience.

      It can be found on YouTube.

      Maybe Larry is in there.

        Are you still trading your own account?
        Yes - Do you advise your positions to your clients before making recommendations?

        Who do you think were the best traders at the WCE when it was open outcry? Chart traders or news traders?

        Trading on a short timeframe is difficult and technically in that era would be extremley difficult with or withou today's technology.

        LOL...Denis Cattani in 1995 - had 3 screens open for charts and 3 screens open for scrolling wires - they were interchangeable to provide any combination of trading screens. charts or news ...the tech has been around longer than you think .

        Joe Dreman of WCE lore had a son named David Dreman who was born in Winnipeg and his Dad's domain was not big enough for his aspirations - killed Wall Street - made an absolute fortune - then wrote a book. I suggest you read it before watching a video



        There is only one gauge and that will be money - he who has the most - wins - period.

        Not familiar with Floored - although i am an old fk - I've been fortunate to be around some of the trading greats measured only by money


        Be careful - there are enough FCM's that read Agriville who have 25 to 40 years experience in their fields and every public medium that they are on - they are expected to provide full disclosure if they have open positions. There are some regulators who also frequent these pages such as the CFTC and IIROC

          To say I've got experience with storing grain at dangerous levels would be an understatement.
          did you feel an empty aching in your nuts when canola dropped a dollar a bushel on monday ?
          we are 80% sold and i sure did lol

            I have always appreciated your opinion and wisdom.

            Today is no different.

              Anyone have an up to date stocks to use ratio on HRS?

              Also, all else being equal, how many mT have to be produced this year to meet traditional demand?

              News Im seeing (old)
              -china winter wheat crop worst on record... Has there been any update on this?
              -Ukraine/Russia... Even if there aren't outright restrictions placed on Russian shipments, I've heard rumors that the shipping industry is essentially "on its own" when it comes to entering the Black Sea now. No insurance company is willing to touch it.

              (newer)
              -Indian heat wave: rumors that if significant damage is done, there may be export restrictions put into place. This on a year, when India earlier, had been hoping to be an exporter. (does anyone know what stage this crop would be at? How vulnerable is it to heat at the moment?)
              -Southern US heatwave coming: looks like we've got a 3-4 day spell of 95 to 100+ weather coming for the south. I've seen a few pictures/videos of northern Texas and Oklahoma and there are certainly places there that are struggling. Looks to be heading or starting to fill... In my experience, heat at that stage is rough on final yield numbers.
              -Northern Plains and Manitoba flooding: This is a little closer to home for us. What are guys seeing in southern manitoba? Are you going to be able to get a respectable portion of the crop seeded at an acceptable date?
              -Southern AB and Southern SK dryness. Have i said it's dry here lately? I'm deliberately delaying seeding this year in the hope that the very limited topsoil moisture we have can effectively get a crop germinated with VERY warm soil, and limp it along until "monsoon season"... If something significant doesn't show up here the end of May and beginning of June, there is absolutely nothing for this crop to draw on! That would be year 2 for me, and 3 or 4 for guys further south and east of me.

                    Australia small fish in big pond but export a bit.

                    Huge carryover of wheat can’t move it.

                    Potentially and I say that with super caution but seeding in oz maybe 50% of acres going in under perfect conditions.

                    My patch we are damp NOT wet first time early may for darn years and years far from perfect but ok.

                    Call me a fool that’s cool we are increasing barley nobody is growing it. Foward sold tiny lick to start $360 port or $330 on farm. Many of my acres suited to barley.

                    Not a show and tell. Small lich wheat $443 port 413 on farm with protien spread.

                    Canola $1145 tiny lick

                    Guessing you guys better basis 10% above these prices all good guys

                      Not a lot of talk of barley around here big guys keep it simple for seeding ( wheat , canola , beans ) Us mixed guys will throw oats in the mix for milling or backup in case hay and corn ( for silage ) is a bust and we have to use it for feed. Using the last off my $ 8 oats to feed my back grounders till grass comes OUCH! Plus 20 c yeasterday working on the airdrill hottest day of the year so far and maybe get to start using it next week.

                        Anyone growing any Hard White varieties ? Just wondering because we grew snowbird in the late 90's into early 00's. Back then outperformed red varieties by a long shot. I think kanata was just starting then but I see now there's a few more. Dies it still fetch a premium

                          Talk of less barley. What I see here if you have cows you’re planting some. If you have none maybe seed a quarter just because. Otherwise wheat/canola.

                                Let the party 🎉 begin, I still see upside for wheat prices, too many factors to ignore.
