What do you think of a commodity trading pool that returns 1.35% average daily returns?

RT — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 01:09:43 +0000

1.35 to 1.5 % DAILY! with 60% going in your pocket and 40% going to the house.

Is this possible?
Based on anywhere between 300 to 1000 scalping trades per day with no more than 10% of your money at risk with a stop-loss of 2.5%
No of course, one would have to have a computer server and highly advanced program written specifically to take advantage of these 100s of tiny increases from different commodities throughout the day.

The Blog Entry that Accompanies this Video is at: investorandtrader.blogspot.com My Daily Blog is at: investorandtrader.blogspot.com Free Issue of Airelons Market Tactics davianletter.com Airelon’s Market Tactics Newsletter: davianletter.com This vlog entry is a continuation in a series of videos, the “Commodities Trading and Futures Speculation”, and is continued from the previous entries. Introduction: I discussed some of the myths regarding commodities speculation, and introduce the entire series. The Reason for the Markets Existence: We discussed that the commodity futures markets exist, to allow companies, farmers, and others involved in production within the economy to hedge themselves against catastrophic losses. This in turn, keeps unemployment lower, and reduces volatility in the economy. Why Traders Trade Commodities: Ok, if the commercial interests use the commodity markets to protect their business profits, then why are traders in those future markets? We discussed liquidity, and that the commercial interests need that trader liquidity, in order to hedge more efficiently. Without traders, the commercial interests have a very difficult time operating in the markets. Collective Crowd Wisdom: We next discussed the free market benefits that traders bring to table while they are trading future delivery contracts. So let’s begin to get into some of the ‘nuts and bolts’ of the commodities, and at the same time, dispel a few myths and rumors that have persisted as of …

Futures Trading Basics

RT — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 23:33:49 +0000

Have you heard of futures trading? From day trading to positions trading, many people trade in the futures markets. There are also futures options where traders trade an option contract which is directly related to the underlying futures market.

What exactly are they trading? Future commodity trading is not like the stock market where people buy shares of a stock. You do not actual own anything. You are just speculating on what the price will be of a commodity in the future.

When you want to put on a futures trade, you must first put up margin money. This is in case the market moves against you; you will have enough capital to pay the loss to the brokerage firm.

Although speculators make up the bulk of futures traders, the markets were intended to protect farmers from losing everything. A farmer can hedge in the futures and protect any loss he will have in the cash market. A farmer can sell the futures in wheat. He might do this if he thinks the wheat market will fall before the harvest. A bread manufacturer might buy the futures if he thinks the price will rise before harvest. Whatever happens to the wheat market, both will guarantee their price.

A speculator is interested only in trading to make a profit. If he thinks the market will rise, he can purchase the futures. If he thinks the market will fall, he can sell a futures. You do not have to own the contract first to sell it. You can first sell the futures contract.

There is risk in any type of trading. That is why some traders only buy futures options, so they know their risk is limited to what they paid for the option. Others who trade futures contracts use technical analysis like fibonacci trading. They will only enter trades that have certain criteria from the chart analysis.
