Improve Your Marketing Decisions With Lighthouse Commodities and HedgeBeacon

Each grain sale starts with a decision and marketing decisions are tough. Tough because producing a crop often means not having enough time to closely follow and analyze numerous information sources before making that marketing decision.

That's why we created HedgeBeacon. Our HedgeBeacon formula takes into account dozens of commodity price variables and uses them to create a daily output. The resulting daily chart indicates whether to Sell, Hold or Buy a commodity, allowing you to quickly and confidently make marketing decisions.

What goes into our HedgeBeacon algorithms?

"I can spend 5 minutes looking at Price Signals to see if we are trending into an area to be making a sale or be patient and wait for better opportunities. This helps me be mentally prepared to make a sale and feel good about it. Price Signals reduce the need for me to spend a lot of time researching and gathering information on various commodities and cattle I market."

"When I first started following the signals, I was leery and put limited stock in the recommendations. Over time it became clear that the algorithms and the signals they drive had great value and incredible insight. When used alongside fundamental market analysis, they offer a tremendous decision-making tool."
