Commodity trading example
Selling: WheatThe gross profit on your trade is calculated as follows:
Opening the Position
Wheat (W) is currently trading at 434.00/434.25 and you are expecting Australia's East Coast crops to be affected by adverse weather patterns over the coming year which will result in lower than average crop yields.
You buy 25 contracts of Wheat (25 bushels per contract) at 434.25 (Total: 434.25 x 25 = $10,850).
Closing the Position
Your research on surrounding weather conditions turns out to be correct: Lower crop yields this year have caused Wheat prices to increase to 400.00/400.25; You exit your position by selling 25 contracts at 400.
