How To Go Short Copper (HG)

Hi Traders,

This post takes a look at how we can trade and go short on copper. There is a very simple setup to take if the price does what I expect it to do. On the daily time frame, Price has managed to give a deeper rejection than I had anticipated in my last copper post, You will see that we are currently rejecting a resistance level on the daily, If you wanted to, you could add fib tool in order to add more confluence. We also have confirmed lower lows and lower highs and I would like to see the current structure price shorting opportunities to go with the overall trend.

On my trading time frame, the Price is now facing a minor support level at 3.3800 which could give a short-lived rejection. I would then like to see the break below the level and retest so we can start looking for shorts. Because I am anticipation a new low on the commodity I will be holding my position all the way to 1.3100. The basic break and retest setup is what I will be waiting for on this one.

Looking at the flip side, the current near-term trend is still bullish and It could break the resistance shifting structure all the way bullish. Remember the smaller time frames eventually build into the higher timeframes. I will only be interested in buying above 3.4470.

Trading metals is very popular within our trading industry. Gold, silver, copper, etc are all very profitable trading pairs. If you have a strategy that you employ that you feel works well in the commodities and metals market, then you should stick to that strategy and pair until you feel confident and comfortable using it.

On that note, be sure to keep an eye out for this one. Until the next post.
