Are you a long only trader? Do you short commodities? Just look at Silver!
Silver is in freefall!
I don't trade precious metals as I class them as an FX asset class. Also, many of the opportunities/trades that I have seen in banks aren't available to the retail trader. So I stay out of it.

I have only made one commodity trade this month. LDN cocoa, and that didnt work out for me. Keeping an eye on base metals and coffee too.
I am also looking at Cotton, but it needs to bottom out and turn before I will enter the trade.

Messy morning. American markets closed, UK markets very volatile.
IG - crashing. Which seems to be the norm.

Maybe its a shakeout. Nice bit of stop hunting to finish the day?

Well that fizzled out! Quite happy with my chart drawing skills though! 😁

Also, careful of the end of week "fun". People will be closing positions and they will move in the opposite direction.
Happened yesterday on the FTSE around 4:25PM, and shot lower at 4:31.

We need some serious fiscal loosening. I haven't heard anyone roll out that "new economic theory" recently. The one that sounds very similar to Keynesian........🤑

A lot of countries are closing their borders. This is going to get really messy!

My gut feeling is that the media is feeding a frenzy of fear and panic ... I see very few intelligent people panicking ...
I'll let you know how my "strategy" of not panic buying works out......in 2.5 toilet rolls time.

Hi there
I recently bought a put and now wish to attempt cancel it. I want to sell a put with the same strike, I am wondering whether this is possible and I can somehow level out the situation? Any help would be great
thanks
Go to the positions tab (on the left), and click close. Then reopen the position as you did last time.

And we're off. After a strong opening, we are heading lower!

Or, they work in tandem to rid the world of a competitor.
I 100% agree.
Is this Russia vs Saudi or both of them vs US shale.
Shale has some bad characteristics: It is more costly than other markets. There is a lot of debt in the companies. When the pumping starts it produces a lot of product very quickly and floods the market, before tailing off.

The ticker for Brent is CO1, but be aware that IG does not use spot prices. Check the doc for details, it could be a weighted average of the two most liquid contracts.

Base Metals having a little rally

@TrendFollower
I have been looking at the Silver which, as you pointed out, is currently trending downwards.
One question - what methods do you use to identify a pull back? I would like to use one as an entry.
I trade ranges, so I normally use support/resistance levels to identify turning points, but this is so far down the chart, its not going to work!
Thanks in advance
James.
