Last time I posted on coffee, it was in a "splendid tumble" for more than 100% gain on its futures margin, short.  Now it's just had a "splendid rally", once again up 100-plus percent on its futures margin, long.

 

Over the past couple of years, as I've noted on this site several times,either using the future or the ETF symbol JO, it consistently makes money for both bulls and bears using the right signals.  The right signals?  Study up.  As usual it takes persistence, discipline and experience to make these trades work.  But they are there for the taking. 

 

Let's call coffee the swing traders beverage of choice.  yes.gif

 

For further discussion and a chart:

Good luck and good trading.

From the link:

 

 

The current coffee swing, which is short, is up $2,568 per contract at today’s close. The margin requirement is $2,970 per contract.

 

Would like to see at least some additional weakness on tomorrow’s open to lock in another 100% gain the margin. If it doesn’t happen there is a good chance coffee will reverse to a long swing at tomorrow’s close. This is likely, at this point, on both counts so tomorrow’s a key day for coffee trades.

Locked in the 100% on the coffee futures short.
