Commerce strategies – the spread products

Many commercial strategies of the most commonly used products actually serve two purposes. Tour a profit is only one. A hedge is the goal. Cover is a way to minimize risks while attempting to buy a form of insurance. And the risk, minimize it CAP in the General also potential benefits. One of the strategies to achieve this is known as the spread.

The majority of the product trades does buy or sell a contractual term articles not negotiated, but more directly. "Va long" and "going short" are two basic strategies


Long go away for the purchase of a futures contract while anticipating price will rise before the contract expires. Futures contracts are very similar to shares or options because rarely vary dealer or specialists have no real contact or involvement with commercial products.

On the other hand, go to means of transport, to sell the market to anticipate before the contract expires during fall in prices. Many newcomers are often confused by this strategy. The contract through bad packaging their mind around the concept that the dealer before it is sold same owner.


While the concept can be a source of confusion, the practice is very simple. While the technical details of traders remain invisible, the inner workings are fairly straightforward. Contract is borrowed, and that is purchased in profits at the latest.

An illustration of this concept is as follows: trader X sold for $6.00 per bushel a contractual term in May to September wheat. Contract is for a minimum amount written usually around 5,000 bushels. The price is $5.40 per bushel August. This creates an advantage from 60 cents to each bushel, which corresponds to $3 000, without Commission. Profit and loss for these companies are installed every day for trade accounts and broker balances the books through the purchase of the same type in the name of the dealer contract with money traders.

Effective business strategies are a combination of different types and lengths of contracts. Distribution is one of the easiest on a form. There are a number of varieties that can be performed, but a simpler approach is sometimes the best move.



An example of this simple approach is shown in this hypothetical situation. July wheat contract price is $5.90 per bushel and a Treaty of September, in may, is the price $6.00 per bushel. By predicting the gap between these two and changes to anticipate before July 10 cents — could generate superior and correct prediction purchase a profit by selling the July and September. Benefit short circuit in July and go for a long time in September.



This advantage is obliged to carefully observe the behavior of the treaties and act accordingly. In June the July agreement for $6.25 per bushel of $6.00 per bushel and September can be increased. Liquidation of the two items with other words, address, both contracts resulting in a loss of 10 cents to the contract in July, but a gain of 25 cents on September contract. This is a benefit of 100 15 per bushel. A small Commission is committed to turn Autour, but it is minute. A contract over 5,000 bushels, this means a profit of $750.



While resulted in a greater profit but all Exchange risks would not July have been short-circuited, and it is impossible to predict the future, especially in the stock market, with a certain certainly. Hence the term speculation is used to refer to these activities.



Circuit and both can cover the operator long, there is justification against itself shortly at betting their best on which direction you expect to be taken the market. Using this strategy of the propagation with many other variations successful hood on the potential profit. However, it works to minimize inconvenience and loss.
