Reciprocal Energy and Consolidation Boxes

Friday, 12 June 2012

------------Notes--------------
In the physical sciences, the wavenumber is a property of a wave, its spatial frequency, that is proportional to the reciprocal of the wavelength. It is also the magnitude of the wave vector. Its usual symbols are \scriptstyle\nu, \scriptstyle\tilde{\nu}, σ or k, the first three used for one definition, the last for another. The wavenumber has dimensions of reciprocal length, so its SI unit is m-1 and cgs unit cm−1 (in this context formerly called the kayser, after Heinrich Kayser).
Wavenumber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In physics, a wave vector (also spelled wavevector) is a vector which helps describe a wave. Like any vector, it has a magnitude and direction, both of which are important: Its magnitude is either the wavenumber or angular wavenumber of the wave (inversely proportional to the wavelength), and its direction is ordinarily the direction of wave propagation (but not always, see below).
The wave vector can also be defined as a four-vector in the context of special relativity.

In wave mechanics, the spatial frequency \nu is related to the wavelength \lambda by the formula

\nu = \frac{1}{\lambda}.

Likewise, the wave number k (e.g. in radians per meter) is related to spatial frequency and wavelength by

k = 2 \pi \nu = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}.

Reciprocal Energy

Friday 22 June 2012

Reciprocal Energy

An Example with Sept Corn

The first thing to notice is the general trend. Here the longterm trend is Down from last Sept's Peak. (720 area). After the first big drop it had a retracement.
The retracement height is important to measure. It is the rebound energy from the fall.

These numbers are not random. They are given by traders establishing equilibrium levels.

In the chart and video I show how this can be used to determine future turn points.

The height of the first bounce is measured.
I have show this as a box.
This height is duplicated below the box to estimate the level corn will fall to when it breaks the lower edge of the box (which was the first low from the big drop).

So this is reciprocal energy the first bounce up is matched by the drop down.

Short on breakdown at lower edge of the box,
Close short and reverse long at estimated low.
Close long at lower edge of the box.
a. If it goes through (on upward) go long with target=high of the box.
b. If it fails at the lower edge of the box go short, possible target = low (though this second time down you would a trail a buystop as it may not go all the way to the earlier estimated low.)

Though some traders would hold the long at the potential resistance (=the lower edge of the box) so they are still long - which worked in this case, I prefer to stand aside.

Wrap for the Week 22 June 2012

Wrap-up for the Week 22 June 2012

Last week we said it would go up to 1355.50 (though I picked 1353 - haha) and it had a strong finish at 1338.25.

Buying at the open, selling at 1353 and closing at 1319 (the low was 1317.50 and 1319 was the gann number posted in Spoo-analysis), done with SPXU which is ultrashort S&P (so short CAR and close) using $30,000 would give us$7,128 on our $30,000 - using 50% margin. This is 23.8% profit. Please register on futures.io to view futures trading content such as post attachment(s), image(s), and screenshot(s). Notice that the 1355.50 area (1356.50 to be more precise) was shown - the higher dotted pink line. Please register on futures.io to view futures trading content such as post attachment(s), image(s), and screenshot(s). Here is the week to 22 June with comments Please register on futures.io to view futures trading content such as post attachment(s), image(s), and screenshot(s). Next week: I'm looking for possible bounce to 1337 area - if it fails here go short Possible levels to bounce off of: Then down to 1307 area - if it bounces close short. I don't think it will so in that case stay short. There is a trendline there and its about 50%. It could find a place to bounce at 1298 to1300 level - which is old lows and 5/8 retrace level - if it bounces close short. If it has a bounce (say to 1317.50) then you're looking to go short again ONCE IT Fails. We could easily be targeting the old lows 1262 (June basis) 1255.50 Sept basis. Basically stay short green downtrend line. . Please register on futures.io to view futures trading content such as post attachment(s), image(s), and screenshot(s).

Corn futures for December delivery were headed for their biggest daily gain in the life of the contract at the Chicago Board of Trade while new-crop soybean futures advanced more than 3 percent after weekend rainfall disappointed and the extended forecast remained hot and dry. Grain futures bucked pressure from a firm dollar, lower equities and a sharp drop in crude oil. "The rainfall over the weekend was a bust. We thought we might see some scattered showers and that did not come through," said Citigroup analyst Sterling Smith in Chicago. "If we see these outside markets turn around, these grains could really catch fire." Analysts polled by Reuters predicted the U.S. Agriculture Department would reduce U.S. corn and soybean crop ratings late Monday by 2 to 3 percentage points while there was little rain in sight for the next 10 days. CBOT December corn was limit up at$5.94 cents per bushel, a gain of 7 percent. New-crop November soybeans rose 3.6 percent, or 50 cents, to $14.25-1/2 per bushel. Wheat futures joined the rally, buoyed additionally by diminished crop prospects in the Black Sea region. "It is very much a weather-related rally in this session," said Luke Mathews, commodities strategist at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Sydney. Macquarie Capital, in a report received on Monday, cut its forecast for the U.S. corn yield to 156.5 bushels an acre, significantly below the USDA's current forecast of 166 bushels. The U.S. government will update its production and yield forecast in its annual acreage report due on Friday. "Dry conditions through out the Midwest, specifically the Southern Corn Belt, following the completion of plantings has raised the risk of poor pollination for the U.S. crop," Macquarie Capital said. "These dry conditions have also been combined with the forecast of below-average precipitation all the way through to pollination," the report added. The deteriorating conditions have prompted large speculators to turn bullish while overall managed money has been increasing a net long position in corn. Large speculators took a net long position in CBOT corn futures and options, reversing course after taking a bearish short bet two weeks ago for the first time since the summer of 2010, regulatory data released on Friday showed. TIGHT STOCKS Corn and soybean crops in the U.S. Midwest have endured dry, hot conditions at a time when the market is relying on a bumper harvest to rebuild tight stocks. The U.S. corn stockpile is projected to fall to a 16-year low by Aug. 31. Wheat prices also rose, with CBOT July up 27-1/2 cents or 4 percent at$7.00-3/4 a bushel. "The drought in the U.S. is driving the rise," a European broker said, adding that concerns about a drop in quality to French wheat crops after new showers over the week-end added nervousness in the market. "It is still too early to speak about damages but it's in people's mind, that's for sure," he said.
