While the Diary of a Mad Hedge Fund Trader focuses on investment over a one week to six-month time frame, Mad Day Trader, provided by Jim Parker, will exploit money-making opportunities over a brief ten minute to three day window. It is ideally suited for day traders, but can also be used by long-term investors to improve market timing for entry and exit points.

General Comments orValuable Insight
I'm still looking for signs of a bottom in the grains.
This will be a price action trade, meaning if they can hold after 9:30 CDT and start up, it will be a low risk long with a stop below the day's low.
Pay close attention to the Pit opening range.
In other words you could give it a go to see if it will hold and have a relief rally.
Grains are oversold. Do not get married to a long!
