Agricultural Commodities Outlook

Seasonality, technical triggers, and disciplined risk

March 26

Agricultural markets reward preparation. Seasonal tendencies, weather-driven volatility, and sudden shifts in positioning can create powerful moves in grains and softs, but only if you have a disciplined framework for timing and risk. Expect practical tools, clearer trade structure, and a stronger process for staying disciplined through the swings that define the agri complex.

Seasonality signals: When price, cycles, and context align

Judd Orr, CMT

10:00

Judd Orr, CMT shows how to turn seasonality into a real trading edge in commodities, using it to anticipate when moves are more likely to start, accelerate, or stall, instead of reacting after the fact. You will learn how to interpret seasonal market cycles and layer those tendencies on top of trend, momentum, and key levels to improve timing, set clearer expectations, and filter out lower-probability setups. Judd will also cover how he uses seasonality as a context filter for trade selection and risk, when to press, when to scale back, and how to stay disciplined through the parts of the year when volatility and whipsaws tend to spike. You will leave with a clear, repeatable framework you can apply immediately to make more disciplined decisions across commodity markets.

Trading grains and softs: Technical setups across agricultural commodities

Paul Wankmueller, CMT

10:30

Paul Wankmueller, CMT brings a true trader’s lens to agricultural commodities, grounded in years of futures and options experience that began in the NYBOT coffee options pit and evolved into today’s fast, electronic ag markets. In this session, Paul will break down what he is watching across grains and softs right now, and how he converts price action into clear technical triggers: where trends are strengthening or fading, which levels matter most when markets reprice quickly, and how to use momentum and volatility cues to avoid getting chopped up in noisy ranges. Get a clearer process for timing entries, defining risk, and staying disciplined through the swings that make agricultural commodities so tradable, whether you trade outright futures, structure options, or manage exposure around seasonal and event-driven swings.
