Commodities research may be as simple as looking at commodity news reports on Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, Google News, or your daily newspaper before starting commodity trading. More basic and timely commodities research information comes from the US Department of Agriculture via its Agricultural Market News. This information can be found online and is often what the news services pick up and report. Within the Agricultural Market News traders can find specific reports including daily updates including the Daily National Grain Market Summary. What traders read about commodities is for fundamental analysis. However, both fundamental and technical analysis are important for successful commodity trading. Reviewing recent and long term commodity price patterns will give guidance about future movement in commodities markets. The use of Candlestick charting can give the trader an advantage in trading commodities. A good place to start learning about trading commodities is with Commodity and Futures training. Fundamental commodity analysis is the basis of what drives futures prices. However, as soon as the first trader has acted on new market fundamentals the market has changed. As traders buy futures or sell futures the commodity price changes. Options traders buying calls, buying puts, selling calls, or selling puts all change the market with the sum of their trading activity. Although the trader will have a firm grasp of his or her commodities research it is market fundamentals that drive day to day trading.

Winning With Commodities http://www.candlestickforums.com/ Winning with commodities starts with learning the basics through commodities and futures training. Learning what commodities are and which commodity to trade is a start. Commodity prices as recorded in commodity trading charts give traders a useful view of the commodities markets. Commodity trading with the use of Candlestick chart analysis has helped traders since Candlestick basics were developed by rice traders in Japan centuries ago. Those traders were winning with commodities when the Samurai were in power by letting the market tell them what the market would do. To win with commodities the trader will need to understand basic and fundamental analysis of individual commodities as well technical analysis. Through the use of technical analysis tools the trader will be able to predict commodity trends and market reversal. Through the use of Candlestick pattern formations the trader will have the tools necessary for winning with commodities. Fundaments of Commodity Trading The fundamentals in commodities trading vary by commodity. The fundamentals for trading gold futures have to do with the economy and the ability to economically mine gold. Since many use gold bullion for hedging against inflation or even protection against economic and monetary collapse, a recession or persistent inflation will typically drive the price of gold up. Much of the gold in the developed world has been mined near to surface. Thus extraction is taking place at great depth in the mines of North America and South Africa. Newer mines where extraction is easier are often in developing and politically unstable countries. The commodity market for an agricultural product such as corn or soybeans will be very dependent upon the weather in the world’s major crop growing areas such as the United States Corn Belt. Knowing market analysis with the fundamentals is essential for winning with commodities for it is the fundamentals of supply and demand that will determine commodity price when the commodity futures contracts expire.

www.CandleStickForums.com Purchase Commodities Traders will often purchase commodities because of the potential for wide commodity price variation. Especially in agricultural commodities, prices can fluctuate fifty percent or more in a year. Producers and processors of commodities will often engage in hedging commodities in order to guarantee a stable price structure for their business operations. The hedging by producers and processors of commodities provides a base market in which the trader can profit in commodities trading. In order to purchase commodities, traders will post a margin. Margin requirements to purchase commodities include the maintenance margin which is what the trader must maintain in his account in order to trade. A performance bond margin is monies deposited by both buyer and sells of commodity futures contracts to guarantee performance of the contract. This is essentially a security deposit. To purchase commodities the trader will want to track return on investment. Return on margin is typically used as a measure of success for those who purchase commodities. This is the gain or loss in trading compared to money invested. It should be noted that this is not return on money per commodity purchased or sold but return on the amount of money dedicated to the margin account in order to purchase commodity futures and sell commodity futures. To learn to effectively trade commodities a good place to start is Commodity and Futures Training. Because of the potential for rapid changes in commodity futures price there is the potential for substantial commodity futures profits. When a trader decides to purchase commodities he or she will decide on the commodity and the delivery date. Commodity delivery dates can be next month, next year, or several years hence depending upon the commodity traded. However, the trader need not hold the commodity contract for its duration. He or she can make the opposite trade to exit the contract. That is the trader can sell the same commodity with the same delivery date. If market fundamentals change or technical factors lead to a substantial market change the trader can exit the trade with a profit long before the contract expires. Traders will follow both fundamental and technical analysis in order to profitably anticipate commodity price movement. The use of Candlestick analysis can help the trader see potentially profitable market patterns and market trends allowing them to purchase commodities and sell commodities in a timely and profitable fashion.

http://www.candlestickforums.com/ Commodity Price Patterns Although commodity prices may or may not repeat themselves commodity price patterns do. In fact, it is because history repeats itself that technical analysis tools work to predict the next move in a commodity price. Certainly commodities traders have long had an intuitive sense about the commodities markets. However, it was not until Japanese rice traders developed Candlestick charting techniques in the days of the Samurai more than three centuries ago that there was an organized and teachable system for commodity trading. Today a beginning commodity trader can take commodity and futures training to learn about Candlestick trading tactics as well as modern technical analysis terms for the same Candlestick pattern formations that guided traders centuries ago. The basic price of a commodity comes from the law of supply and demand. Inflation will make commodity prices higher in dollars even when a commodity such as gold will still buy the same amount of food or a house for the same weight that it did a century ago. Predicting changes in the basic price of a commodity is a matter of fundamental analysis. Following commodity price patterns is a matter of technical commodity analysis.

http://www.candlestickforums.com/ Basics of Commodity Trading To trade commodities successfully traders ought to start by learning the basics of commodity trading. Trading commodities is really commodities futures trading. Producers and processors of commodities buy and sell futures contracts for delivery on a specific date during any of the next months or years. Producers and processors are typically hedging their investment risk and helping to provide a stable market for the commodity in question. Speculators can trade the samecommodity futures contracts by buying and selling futures or they can buy options and sell options on futures contracts. Commodity and futures training is a good place to start learning the basics of commodity trading. For those interested options trading in commodities markets, Options Training with Stephen Bigalow will provide basic knowledge as well as the deeper insight gained from experience trading options in commodity futures.

www.CandleStickForums.com Sell Commodity Futures Traders will sell commodity futures when they believe that the price of the commodity will drop substantially between the time they sell the commodities contract and the contract settlement date. The trader will rarely hold contracts to settlement but will buy a commodity futures contract with the same settlement date in order to exit the commodities trading position. When the spot price is sufficiently below the contract price it is profitable to sell commodity futures and then buy at the lower price to profit from trading commodities. Traders will commonly use both fundamental and technical analysis tools in order accurately predict commodity price movements. Technical analysis tools such as Candlestick analysis have helped commodities traders for centuries in anticipating how a commodity will trade in coming hours, days, weeks, and months. Anyone beginning commodity futures trading will do well to take Commodity and Futures training in order to understand basic commodity trading and to profit by successfully trading commodity futures. Although a trader will enter into a contract to sell commodity futures he or she will only rarely deliver on the contract. This is the business of producers and buyers of commodities and is called hedging. In this case a gold mining company may sell gold futures or an agricultural cooperative may sell corn futures. An oil company could, in fact, sell oil futures. In each case the seller will be in the business of the commodity in question and will, in fact, be able to produce the commodity for delivery. The company is hedging as a technique of controlling investment risk. This is a common practice and the backbone of the commodities markets. The large volume and liquidity caused by large buyers hedging risk provide the trader with an excellent opportunity to buy commodity futures or sell commodity futures for profit. The trader learns to predict market movement with the use of Candlestick pattern formations and similar technical analysis tools in order to decide whether it will be profitable to buy or to sell commodity futures.

http://www.candlestickforums.com/ Commodity Market Liquidity Commodity market liquidity often correlates very well with commodity market trading profits. There are three benefits to traders in high commodity market liquidity. The first is that it is easier to enter and exit trades. The second is that bid and ask prices are commonly closer. The third is that with high trading volume and liquidity the statistics of online trading software as well as the predictive ability of time honored tools such as Candlestick pattern formations tend to be more precise. Traders can find reports of the previous day’s trading volume online as well as updates during the trading day. A useful measure of trading volume and a useful predictor of trading volume is open interest. This measure is the number of open contracts between buyers and sellers in commodity futures trading. To learn to use commodity market liquidity to the maximum advantage in profiting from commodity trading, traders are wise to take Commodity and Futures Training and to develop their skills in Candlestick analysis of commodity prices. Commodities that can offer good commodity market liquidity include trading in corn futures, oil futures, and gold futures. Each of these is a commodity that trades at high volume and high liquidity. In the case of each commodity both fundamental and technical analysis are necessary to understand the scope of trading and the day by day or minute by minute changes in commodity price. Candlestick charts of these commodities will help predict price movement and allow traders to buy or sell commodity futures contracts with the reasonable expectation of making a profit with anticipated market moves. The tight spreads between bid and ask prices on commodity futures contracts will allow the trader to profit by buying and selling at smaller intervals in a market trend than when the market is less liquid and the spread is greater. Understanding the fundamental analysis of gold, oil, or corn futures will give the trader an overall perspective of the market. However, it is technical analysis that predicts the next price move. The use of Candlestick chart patterns will predict market moves within the trading range dictated by commodity fundamentals.

http://www.candlestickforums.com/ Commodity News Reports To successfully trade commodities, traders learn the basics of commodity trading with classes like Commodity and Futures Training. As part of a successful trading strategy for commodities, traders follow commodity news reports. There are many places to find commodity news reports. These include print media such as the Wall Street Journal, the online business news media such as Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, Google News, and the like, and propriety news media affiliated with commodity dealers and commodity brokers. Much of what comprises news about commodities comes from following trading on the NYMEX or official reports such as the US Department of Agriculture Daily National Grain Market Summary. Commodity news reports ideally contain hard data first of all and reasoned analysis second. The hard data of commodity news reports can be used for fundamental analysis of the commodity in question. Opinions of commodities analysts may be useful in directing the trader where to focus his or her technical analysis of commodities markets. The type of information in commodity news reports typically has to do with issues of commodity supply and demand. Useful analysis will be that which gives insight into supply and demand issues. For example, a drought in Europe and Asia is drastically reducing wheat production and driving up prices worldwide. The fact that the drought is continuing towards the fall tells us that the winter wheat crop to be planted this fall will also be affected. Thus, even if there is snow this winter in the Russian Steppes and good spring rains the wheat crop will still be poor next year. The next set of facts a trader will want to see is reports of how much wheat is planted in the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Manitoba, and so forth, this coming fall. Fundamental commodity analysis starts with commodity news reports.

www.CandleStickForums.com Basic Stock Trading Basic stock trading is a recipe for success, even in today's complicated stock market . Basic stock trading requires both fundamental and technical analysis of stocks. Technical analysis of stocks using Candlestick stock charts provides traders with clear and accurate signals. Candlestick analysis allows traders to identify known stock price patterns to a volatile market. By doing so traders are able to profitably anticipate the upward and downward movement of stock prices , options prices, and futures prices on stocks . Fundamental analysis in basic stock trading provides traders with a clear view of a stock’s potential, both upward and downward. However, the market discounts stock fundamentals as soon as they are known, leaving technical analysis as the tool of choice for basic stock trading. Regarding basic stock trading we mean the basics of buying stock and selling stock . Traders can use the tools of basic stock trading like both technical and fundamental analysis in trading derivatives, for example. However, no matter how complicated a trading strategy is, it is based on sound basic stock trading. Besides analyzing when to buy or sell stocks with Candlestick patterns , basic trading relies upon tactics for management of investment risk , diversifying a stock portfolio whether for short or long term trades, as well as the use of stop loss orders and limit orders in general.

www.CandleStickForums.com Market Commodities What are the market commodities that I can trade in? Market commodities, just in agricultural products, include corn, wheat, soybeans, rice, and oats. However, there is more to the commodities market in crops than just the grains listed. Corn includes mini-corn, corn swaps, and corn calendar spread options. Wheat also includes mini-wheat, wheat swaps, and wheat calendar spread options. Soybeans are the same but you add the same mix for soybean meal and then soybean crush. The commodities trader needs to keep commodity trading charts on each commodity that he or she is dealing in. Speaking of the use of charts for commodities trading, it brings us to the oldest recorded method of charting and predicting commodity prices which is still in use today, Candlestick trading. Active traders in market commodities may wish to follow more than just one or two commodities. The advantage of Candlestick chart analysis over following columns of figures is that Candlestick pattern formations are easier to recognize than the same information hidden in dense groupings of text. Commodity trading in rice used Candlestick basics as long as three hundred years ago. Traders developed Candlestick charting techniques that are in use today, not just in trading commodities but in the stock market, options trading, and the futures market as well. Fundamental analysis certainly applies to all market commodities. If industrial production is down in China, futures on steel products from Australia may suffer. The fact that the Asian economies seem to be leading the way out of the recession bodes well for raw goods that are imported for Chinese industry. News of the weather precedes crop reports and is a strong predictor of yield. However, it is rare that one person trading commodities is the only person with market news relative to the analysis of fundamentals. Because the trader does not have a head start on the market he or she needs to be aware of how the market is behaving or in order to be either bullish or bearish in the market.

www.CandleStickForums.com Successful Commodities Trading Even the beginner can engage in successful commodities trading. Traders can make money in successful commodities trading by choosing commodities that they have an interest in and knowledge of. Commodities traders can use technical analysis tools such as Candlestick chart analysis to track and predict price changes in a given commodity. Successful commodities trading comes down to combining technical analysis with fundamental analysis. A good place to gain a firm knowledge of the fundamentals of commodities trading is with Commodity and Futures Training. Once traders have learned the fundamentals of trading commodities they will choose a commodity to trade such as oil futures or gold futures. Those with an agricultural background or interest may consider live cattle commodity trading or corn futures. Discipline, a trading strategy, and attention to detail will convert knowledge and commodity price patterns into profits for the hard working trader. The list of commodities to trade is long. Corn, mini-corn, corn swaps, corn calendar spread options, distiller’s dried grain futures, wheat, mini-wheat, wheat swaps, wheat calendar spread, soybean, min—soybean, soybean swaps and so forth is how the Nymex list of commodities products starts. Metals traded include industrial metals such as copper futures and precious metals with some industrial use such as gold and platinum. Energy products include crude oil futures as well as natural gas futures, coal futures, and energy credits. For successful commodities trading it is important to have a strong working knowledge of ones own traded commodities. It is always important to remember that the biggest traders in the commodities markets include the producers, processors, and commercial and industrial buyers of commodities. These companies are hedging their investment risk in buying and selling commodities. Having only a passing knowledge of a commodity that you are trading puts you at a distinct disadvantage compared to someone with a background in the industry in question and decades of trading experience.

http://www.candlestickforums.com Agricultural commodities Trading agricultural commodities is the province of agricultural producers and the likes of multinational grain companies. It is also the province of traders speculating on movements in the agricultural commodities markets. Both groups trading commodities rely upon fundamental analysis of the commodity in question and engage in technical analysis using technical analysis tools such as Candlestick chart formations in order to judge when to stay with a market trend and when to expect a market reversal. The world needs food but growing conditions, food transport and storage, and diversion of food stuffs into energy all affect availability and, therefore, commodity price. This mixture of facts and conditions drives pricing in the futures markets in agricultural commodities. Whether you are interested in trading corn futures or live cattle Commodities and Futures Training will be a good place to start. The Traders When you start commodity trading you will be up against the likes of traders working for companies like Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland. These multinational food companies know the fundamentals of the agricultural commodities markets as it is their business. They will, in fact, know fundamentals before you do. Although their advantage may only be minutes or even seconds they will cause market movement to which you will have to react. They are typically the drivers of the commodities markets in wheat, corn, soybeans and other products. You will be in the pack with other traders doing Candlestick analysis to predict market reaction to the trades made by the big money. Why They Trade There are two types of traders in agricultural commodities. There are the producers and the buyers who are hedging commodities and their investment risk. There are traders looking to profit on market movement. Farm cooperatives growing sugar beets and sugar producers who buy sugar beets or cane each buy or sell commodities futures contacts to lock in price at a future date. Because these folks know the market in their commodity they may well also trade for profit but their primary motive is to maintain a stable price for their product. The trader speculates on market movement and market reversal in looking to profit. The producers and buyers want a stable market. The pure trader would like to see lots of market volatility.

www.CandlestickForums.com Book Value Book value is an accounting value of a company. It relates to stock price in that it includes tangible assets minus liabilities. It may or may not include intangibles such as good will. What book value does not address is the strength of the company’s product line, the efficiency of it research, development, and ability to bring salable products to market. Book value does not assess the strength of a company’s management or its general promise for the future. Book value may reveal property, cash assets, and other matters not reflected in the current stock price. These items then represent a greater intrinsic stock value than reflected in the stock price and a margin of safety often sought after in long term investing. Knowing book value is essential to fundamental analysis of stocks.

Futures Analysis

www.CandleStickForums.com Stock Futures Stock futures can be purchased or sold for single stocks or for exchange traded funds based upon stock indexes. Stock futures are traded on margin. A futures contract on individual stocks, like options contracts, is for 100 shares of the underlying equity. Because stock futures are traded on margin, using a margin account, they offer the trader a degree of leverage. Unlike trading options the buyer of stock futures is obligated to buy on the delivery date or execute the opposite trade in order to exit the contract. Unlike buying calls or buying puts in options trading the trader is not protected against downside risk. Unlike buying options there is no premium paid by the buyer. The value of an options contract starts at zero the moment the contract is made. However, as stock prices move and both fundamental and technical analysis reveal new pricing possibilities the contract gains, or loses value, depending upon if one is buying or selling. As with options trading using Candlestick pattern formations as a guide traders can anticipate stock price movement and profit from buying or selling stock futures. Single stock futures are not heavily traded in the United States. The largest market for single stock futures is, in fact, in South Africa. Other markets for stock futures include the UK, Spain, and India. Total daily trading is typically less than a million contracts a day. Stock futures exchanges typically act as a clearing house and cover the counterparty risk associated with futures trading. In the United States OneChicago is a market for single stock futures. Unlike single stock futures exchange traded funds futures trade in the millions of contracts per day. The analysis for this type of futures trading commonly leans much more toward technical analysis that that for individual stocks. Using Candlestick analysis a trader can follow pricing for an ETF and profit from recognizing Candlestick pattern formations and trading effectively.

Day trading basics are whether you engage in fundamental analysis or technical analysis of stocks, commodities, or futures. Which equity market to trade in is important, as is how much to invest per trade. Managing investment risk involves deciding when to trade and when to stop. Day trading basics start with the old adage that ninety percent of life is just showing up. Day trading takes time and patience from which come skill and wisdom. From the days of rice traders in ancient Japan technical analysis tools such as Candlestick chart analysis have worked well for those who learn and practice them.

There are records of traders hedging commodities as early as 17th century Holland and Japan (Tulips and Rice). It was in 1848 that the Chicago Board of Trade was founded. Centrally located for United States agriculture the commodities exchange became the most important in the world for hedging commodities. The necessity for trading commodity futures comes from the uncertainties of crop and livestock production. A drought with a subsequent bad harvest or loss of livestock can be devastating for farmers and ranchers. Thus many large operations and, especially, cooperatives have engaged in hedging commodities for many years. Commodity and futures training will show beginning commodities traders how profits are made from trading commodities. Commodities trading began with producers and their buyers coming together to create a stable market for agricultural products. Today commodity futures are still largely the province of those actively involved in agriculture. However, trading in commodities is not limited to growers and processors of agricultural products. Many who are trading commodities online are able to profit from the movements in the grain and meat markets without ever planting a row of corn or butchering a steer. Candlestick basics have worked in Japanese rice trading for centuries and Candlestick chart analysis is useful today in trading everything from rice to gold to environmental credits.

www.CandleStickForums.com Successful Trading System What constitutes a successful trading system? Certainly a successful trading system is one that results in profits in trading stocks, trading commodities, trading futures and trading options. A stock trading system at its most basic is a set of rules, an algorithm, for deciding when to buy stock, sell stock, or sell short. A successful trading system can be applied to stocks, options, commodities and futures. A basic stock trading system is based upon technical analysis of stock prices and provides buy or sell signals. There are lots of trading systems. A truly successful trading system such as Candlestick analysis stands the test of time. Japanese Candlestick basics have been around since the days of the Samurai in Japan. Although rice traders in ancient Japan were fully aware of the fundamentals that drove rice prices, such as a good harvest, a drought, war, etc., they also learned that price patterns repeated themselves. By identifying these patterns and learning what the pattern was likely to indicate, traders developed Candlestick signals such as the Doji Candlestick which is a strong indicator of market indecision and predicts the reversal both upward and downward market trends. A successful trading system must be one that the trader can use effectively in stock trading, commodity trading or trading derivatives. A distinct advantage of Candlestick charts is that they are easy to read. Candlestick stock charts display the same information as other, more difficult to read, charting methods. However, Candlestick signals distill the same essential information into each signal without displaying complicated, statistics that take valuable time to read. No matter how accurate a trading system is the system must be functional in the rapid paced world of day trading stocks, commodities, and derivatives.

http://www.theforexnittygritty.com./ Day Trading Forex By www.TheForexNittyGritty.com Day trading Forex is typically the province of speculators in the currency markets. Traders use analysis of both fundamentals and technical factors to profit from hour by hour and minute by minute price changes of currency pairs. To the extent that a trader is at work at his trade station when substantial news hits the market he will be able to profit from the short term market inefficiency that occurs before a new market consensus is obtained. At most times day trading Forex currencies is most profitable in major currency pairs. These currencies trade at high volume and liquidity. Their fundamentals are clear. Technical analysis of major Forex currencies is typically more accurate that technical analysis of minor Forex currencies. Thus most active day traders stick with major currencies in day trading. A Tool to Profits in Day Trading Forex Fundamental analysis of Forex pairs is important in Forex trading. However, minute by minute market changes occur because of technical factors unless a single piece of news hit the market. Thus most traders rely on technical analysis of Forex pairs to gain day trading Forex profits. A time honored trading tool is the Japanese candlestick system. Long ago in ancient Japan rice traders discovered that trading patterns repeated themselves. These traders devised a pictorial system for representing these recurring and predictive patterns. A Japanese candlestick consists of a rectangle, the candle, and lines extending from the top and bottom of the candle. These are called shadows. The body of the candle is superimposed on a trading price chart. It represents the opening and closing prices for the day. The candle is white if it closed higher than it opened and black if it closed lower. The shadows show just how high or low the equity in question traded during the day. Although this system was devised for trading rice it is used today for stocks, commodities and Forex. When day trading Forex, traders can use the candlestick system with any time limit that they choose. Although it traditionally is based on a trading day it works for shorter time periods even down to an hour. Making a Profit Day Trading Forex The point of trading currencies is to hedge risk if you must convert currencies for business reasons. The point of trading currencies for speculators is to reliably find a profit in the currency markets. Profit and volatility go together. Thus many traders scan the market looking for activity. Some may pay for an alert service to help them spot the best currency pair to trade. Once the trader has chosen the best pair to trade he assesses the fundamentals that drive each currency. These can be balance of payments, monetary policy of the country, labor reports, or a host of political and social factors that may affect the value of a nation’s currency.

Short Term Investment http://www.candlestickforums.com/ There are two things a person may be looking for in a short term investment. The other is a way to profit from the ups and downs of the stock market. The first just has to do with checking out interest rates on T Bills, CD’s, and other short term debt instruments. One is a place to park their money that is safe and pays better than a bank savings account. The second is where technical analysis tools such as Candlestick pattern formations can help a person to trade stocks and make a substantially better profit than the bank offers or even what one can gain from long term investing. Short term investment in stocks can be extremely profitable. It can be more profitable, over the years, than long term investing. This is because the rate of return on long term stock investment is typically not linear. Market volatility, market trends, and market reversal all affect stock prices, even of the most stable of stocks. Doing basic and fundamental analysis of stocks and then reading market sentiment with Candlestick analysis gives traders and short term investors the ability to buy stock and sell stock at the most opportune times. Short term investment capitalizes on buying at the bottom of a price curve or short selling just as a market correction hits. Longer term investment depends upon analysis of intrinsic stock value and a stock’s margin of safety. Short term investment thrives on the precise analysis of stock price changes that Candlestick signals provide.

Nara Chandrababu Naidu's Visionary Policies For Andhra Pradesh's Development

narsireddynannuri1

This article aims to demonstrate that the Lula government is faced with two major challenges in its effort to promote Brazil's economic and social development. The first challenge, of an economic nature, is represented by the obstacles that exist with the spending cap policy, despite the flexibility provided by the fiscal framework and the existence of an independent Central Bank, which make the Brazilian government unable to coordinate its fiscal and monetary policies, make public investments in the expansion of the economy and obtain macroeconomic stability and, the second challenge, of a political nature, is represented by the obstacles existing in the National Congress due to the fact that it does not have a majority in parliament, which prevents the federal government from putting its national developmental project into practice and fully meet social demands. For Brazil's progressive forces to re-elect President Lula in the 2026 presidential elections and obtain a parliamentary majority in the National Congress committed to political, economic and social advances, the Lula government will have to be successful on the economic front, promoting the expansion of the economy, increasing significantly generating jobs and income, keeping inflation under control and meeting the maximum social demands that benefit, above all, the country's underserved populations. Brazil's progressive forces need to commit, starting from the 2024 municipal elections, towards to elect the maximum number of mayors and councilors committed to Brazil's political, economic and social advances. These are the conditions to prevent, in 2026, right-wing extremists from regaining the Presidency of the Republic, expanding their participation in state governments and the National Congress and putting their nefarious anti-social and anti-national project into practice.

Commodities Research

1. Commodities Research By www.CandlestickForums.com

2. Commodities research is a basic part of commodities trading. www.CandlestickForums.com

3. Commodities research may be as simple as looking at commodity news reports on Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, Google News, or your daily newspaper before starting commodity trading. www.CandlestickForums.com

4. More basic and timely commodities research information comes from the US Department of Agriculture via its Agricultural Market News. www.CandlestickForums.com

5. This information can be found online and is often what the news services pick up and report. www.CandlestickForums.com

6. Within the Agricultural Market News traders can find specific reports including daily updates including the Daily National Grain Market Summary. www.CandlestickForums.com

7. What traders read about commodities is for fundamental analysis. www.CandlestickForums.com

8. However, both fundamental and technical analysis are important for successful commodity trading. www.CandlestickForums.com

9. Reviewing recent and long term commodity price patterns will give guidance about future movement in commodities markets. www.CandlestickForums.com

10. The use of Candlestick charting can give the trader an advantage in trading commodities. www.CandlestickForums.com

11. A good place to start learning about trading commodities is with Commodity and Futures training. www.CandlestickForums.com

12. Fundamental commodity analysis is the basis of what drives futures prices. www.CandlestickForums.com

13. However, as soon as the first trader has acted on new market fundamentals the market has changed. www.CandlestickForums.com

14. As traders buy futures or sell futures the commodity price changes. www.CandlestickForums.com

15. Options traders buying calls, buying puts, selling calls, or selling puts all change the market with the sum of their trading activity. www.CandlestickForums.com

16. Although the trader will have a firm grasp of his or her commodities research it is market fundamentals that drive day to day trading. www.CandlestickForums.com

17. Rice traders in Japan during the days of the Samurai learned that price patterns repeated themselves and were predictive of subsequent market movement. www.CandlestickForums.com

18. The same principles that worked three hundred years ago work today with the application of Candlestick pattern formations and Candlestick trading tactics to help the trader profit from commodity price fluctuations. www.CandlestickForums.com

19. Commodities research helps the trader anticipate futures prices but understanding market principles helps the trader execute profitable trades. www.CandlestickForums.com

20. By doing commodity research on a daily and ongoing basis the commodities trader can anticipate major market changes. www.CandlestickForums.com

21. Because commodities can vary in price over years by a factor or two or more buying futures several years out allows the trader to enter a position at relatively little cost. www.CandlestickForums.com

22. If market conditions, such as the current drought in Russia and Europe, drive up the price of a commodity such as wheat. www.CandlestickForums.com

23. The trader need not wait until expiration of his or her contract. www.CandlestickForums.com

24. The trader can execute a sell when he previous bought or a buy when he previously sold and exit the trade at a profit. www.CandlestickForums.com

25. Because grain futures can trade several years into the future and oil futures even farther out that is the time horizon for commodities research. www.CandlestickForums.com

26. A commodity trading system that starts with research of the commodity•fs prospects several years into the future gives the trader a solid sense of the possibilities of the commodities markets. www.CandlestickForums.com

27. Commodity futures trading then becomes a matter of analysis and not one of speculation. www.CandlestickForums.com

28. Commodities research will help the trader stay well grounded in the possibilities and limits of the commodities that he trades. www.CandlestickForums.com
