Trade Commodities

To make money! In addition, you can use the commodity futures markets to offset rising energy cost (in gasoline, natural gas, fuel oil, etc.) and at the same time profit from these price increases. The strategic information in my courses will teach you how to quickly identify when there are major price moves in the markets - and in which direction the price will go. For example: you see that the Unleaded Gasoline futures market appears to be heading higher in price so you get a Long Unleaded Gas Futures Contract (or Option) and when price does go up, the profit the position generates for you will significantly offset your cost at the pump (by as much as several thousand dollars!)

In addition, this is priceless information that will help you quickly go from a linear income model (this is where you work 'x' hours to make 'y' dollars) to a geometric income model (working very little and generating lots of income.) The geometric income model is the one you want to follow because it gives you lots of time and income to shop, vacation, play, spend quality time with loved ones, and rapidly fund your retirement portfolio. Did I miss anything?

Background & experience:

What distinguished me as an instructor is that I explain complex things simply. In addition to being a technical writer for over 20 years, I would also teach adult education classes in photography, bicycle repair, and mat cutting and design. This extensive body of experience has given me the skills needed to clearly communicate specialized knowledge to others.

Several years ago, I made the decision to learn to successfully profit from trading Commodity Futures and Options because it fits my personality. It also offers me a lifestyle where I work less than 30 minutes per week day, but I can make more than triple the income of my former "job". And when you have more income, it means that you can substantially change your lifestyle and do the things that are really important to you; like go shopping, take vacations, play, spend quality time with loved ones, rapidly fund your retirement portfolio (did I miss anything?)

I spent a lot of time learning how to successfully trade commodity futures and options. I bought all the significant courses to learn the skills, tips and techniques that I needed to be successful at this business.

During this learning period, I paper traded commodity futures for about 15 months – much longer than the recommended 3-6 months. I did this deliberately to evaluate the validity of this information and find out what really works. Paper trading is where you trade commodity futures and options contracts as if you were really doing it, but you use "monopoly money" instead of risking real money. You need to keep careful notes about your successes and failures. Paper trading gives you the chance "test drive" your trading plan and money management plan to find out if it will consistently produce profit for you. This lets you gain the confidence and experience you need to be successful at this game, but you're not exposed to financial risk while you're learning – which is a *great* (read "non-costly") way to learn.

During my "learning curve", I created a simple trading plan that leverages numerous proven strategies to help you quickly analyze all the commodity futures markets. These strategies let you identify and qualify markets that offer the best possible trades at any point in time – to put the odds of success decidedly in your favor.

So now that I've paid my dues and learned how to consistently profit from trading futures and options, I'm doing this for a living with real money. This site gives you the simple and straight-forward process that I developed and use to successfully trade commodity futures. My process consists of the following items:

  • Technical Analysis - evaluate the markets and identfy prime trades
  • Trading Plan - the rules I use to enter/exit prime trades
  • Money Management Plan - what I do to limit financial risk

When you combine all three of these items, it puts the odds of consistently successful trades overwhelmingly in your favor. If you visit frequently and follow along with what I'm doing, it's possible for you to get a well-grounded and logical education on how to succeed at trading commodity futures.

I've spent some serious time learning what works best, and how to use it to my advantage. And because I've gone through the learning curve for you, I can combine this knowledge with my extensive teaching experience to quickly give you what I believe is the best and clearest description of how to trade commodity futures and options available anywhere on the planet!

What will it require from you? You need to be prepared to paper trade daily for 3-6 months until you get the skills, experience and confidence you need to survive in this business. You also need to learn how to use several analysis tools, follow the markets daily and track price changes, take positions that are favorable, and learn when to enter and exit the chosen markets.

There are only two ways to make money in commodity trading:

  • Have a large position (multiple futures or option contracts) and profit from a small favorable price move, -or-
  • Have a small position (one futures or option contract) and profit from a large favorable price move.

Most people who are new to commodity futures trading will most likely use the second method because of cash limitations. And here is some great news for you: all of my training material is geared for the needs of people who need to use the second method.
