Short February Live Cattle

​I did not give you a day to think about the Live Cattle trade I suggested.  The research I follow gives indicates this move usually occurs later in the month, but I think it has started a bit earlier.  I think that cattle have topped for now.

The risk here should be easy to manage.  Go short one February Live Cattle contract at $128.50.  Place a stop GTC at $130.8 which is just above the swing high.  Your risk will be .2.4 x 400 = $920.  The target is the  38.2% retracement at $122.5.  This would give a $2,400 profit on the trade.....a 2.5 to 1 return to risk ratio.

    Those that know me know that I resist publicly recommending speculative trades.  I consider myself a risk manager after all.  I do not place clients into situations that increase risk.  This page is purely speculative in nature.  Do not use farm money for this page.
