TRADING DELIGHT - MOS

I have been trading MOS quite a bit lately and have been making money on the long and short side of things.  I simply wanted to put up a post with a chart that I have been using that has been a great tool in determining when to buy and sell and when to switch sides.

Currently I am short as of yesterday afternoon when I saw MOS hit $69.  I felt like that would be strong resistance on the upside, so it was natural to enter a short there.  I see that MOS is in a downward channel.  The $67.15 level has been one where it has had support, (although it did break through earlier last week), and that $66.75 area is also support.

TRADING THOUGHTS
I will probably play this quite tight today, by selling 1/2 a position when we near $67.15.  Right now, my stops are around $68.35 to keep me winning.  If MOS would drop through the $67.15 area, it could very well trade down to the bottom of the channel which is somewhere around $65.00 on the weekly chart.

WEEKLY 3 YR MOS


Be very careful and nimble.  You must use stops, although MOS is under pressure, all commodity plays are potential huge upward reversals if the US dollar continues to drop.
