Chart Analysis

On the daily timeframe, Corn: D1 is correcting down from the high since July 2013. Quotes approached the uptrend support line, which must be broken down before opening a position. A number of technical analysis indicators formed signals for further decline. We do not rule out a bearish move if Corn falls below its latest low: 521. This level can be used as an entry point. We can place a stop loss above the last upper fractal, upper Bollinger line and Parabolic signal: 573. After opening a pending order, we can move the stop loss following the Bollinger and Parabolic signals to the next fractal maximum. Thus, we change the potential profit/loss ratio in our favor. After the transaction, the most risk-averse traders can switch to the four-hour chart and set a stop loss, moving it in the direction of the bias. If the price meets the stop loss (573) without activating the order (521), it is recommended to delete the order: the market sustains internal changes that have not been taken into account.
