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...

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