Technicals (December)
December corn futures were able to defend the 50-day moving average yesterday which helped elevate prices back to the 20-day at 422 1/2. Above that is the 100-day at 424. If the Bulls can clear this hurdle, we could be on our way to retest the recent highs and potentially go beyond that. That resistance pocket comes in from 430-432 3/4. On the flipside, a failure at these major moving averages could set us back to the lower end of the recent range from 414-415.

Performance Disclaimer

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
