Commodity trading example
Buying: Wheat
The gross profit on your trade is calculated as follows:
Opening Price
$435.25 * 100 contracts * 4 = USD $174,100
Closing Price
$460 * 100 contracts * 4 = USD $184,000
Gross Profit on Trade
USD $184,000 - $174,100 = $9,900
Opening the Position
Wheat_N7 is currently trading at 434.00/435.25 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 100 contracts of Wheat (4 bushels per contract) at 435.25 which equals USD $174,100 (435.25 * 100 * 4).
Closing the Position
Your research surrounding weather conditions turns out to be correct. Lower crop yields this year have caused Wheat prices to increase to 460.00/462.15. You exit your position by selling your contracts at 460.
