Commodity Trading Basics

Description

Commodity markets move with supply, demand and global events, and trading them requires a plan. Nine PDF lessons start with what commodity markets are and the major categories: energy, metals and agriculture.

They then introduce futures and options as the core instruments, fundamental and technical market analysis and risk management strategies to protect capital. Further lessons cover developing a trading plan, execution and position management, and common mistakes. The final lesson builds a first commodity trading strategy. Checklists appear in a few lessons. This is educational reading and not personal financial advice.

Who it is for: investors with some market knowledge who want to understand how commodity trading works.
