The lean hog futures' volatility has provided tremendous opportunities for both the hog farmers and the packers this year. Their assessment of value fuels their collective trading requirements. This leaves the farmers selling production at the top and packers paying for consumption at the bottom. We use both of these groups in our discretionary trading at COTSignals.
You can see the results of the discretionary signals in the chart below.

We also trade many markets on a purely mechanical basis. We've been writing and publishing mechanical commodity trading systems since 1999. Don't get us wrong, we've only come up with a few that we trade with our own money. You can see the recent trades on the buy side of the lean hog futures below. Why just the buy side? Because we track the buyers and the sellers separately in order to better determine the inner workings of the market.
Discretionary and Mechanical versions of this research are both offered on a nightly basis.
