just did a sample of doing the martingale setup with coffee. Say buy 5k worth of JO (coffee ETF) at 1/lb. Hard to say what upside tgt should be before willing to exit, but I'd say 2% at least for...

I have no clue whether I'll ever do a trade like this. Even if I never do, if I wind up in the trading industry, I do know that I believe I'd be using setups at least somewhat in this framework of...

Well trading is not a game of certainty (unless one has inside info as seen with gold shooting up $40 fractionally before the taper/un-taper FOMC minutes a few months ago), so it's about finding an...

Definitely something like natural gas would have been rough on someone scaling in long as it fell, just looking at its chart history.

If one had the risk capital, I would think it'd be a highly probabilistic from numerous vantage points play to buy a 'sizable' amount of JO, or just KC directly, and look to make 2% or something like...

nothing in particular, I guess. I've read some of the threads on here about martingale and it didn't seem like the idea of doing something at least along those lines on something already in an...

What you are referring to is what my idea with this is premised on. Again, coffee historically has been much lower. But I think commodities have already taken a big beat down overall, so those kinds...

Definitely am not oblivious to the reality of say having to have enough capital, etc., to execute this. Probably one way to help even that would be if there were a way to basically be buying a...

I should say one can probably integrate some options such as buying puts into this, too, to protect from major downside, to somewhat alter a pure martingale strategy.

I have had some tough times with the futures, and especially get ticked off if I get flushed out and then it winds up going soon after to my initial target.

I like the idea of trading many ETFs at...
