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. So what is the other benefits exist, other than that of traders providing liquidity? We discuss that in thefollowing vlog entry &#8230; * * * Note: This is not an investment or trading recommendation. The losses in trading can be very real, and depending on the investment vehicle, can exceed your <b>&#8230;</b><!-- pingbacker_start --><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Forex trading has a day by day turnover of over three trillion dollars. The each day transactions on this huge market by the traders generally meet a lot of difficulties. These technical difficulties had been dealt with by the introduction of Robots.</p>
<p>The International Exchange Market, as we knew it effectively, is available all throughout the world, one solution to make your buying and selling is through the internet, that is why, this type of market is commonly referred to as Online forex trading. It runs twenty 4 hours a day, seven days a week; this is a lot to monitor. Your investment may be one of the tens of millions of trading that&#8217;s occurring available in the market by the minute, however with the assistance of these Robots, a trader can now monitor at his/her desired time the Foreign exchange Market, however nonetheless gaining some huge cash from the Market. With its forecasting abilities, you possibly can see absolutely the market development, this robotic, as been stated earlier than runs in algorithmic equations that are maybe used to see the present market pattern, so principally, they are called your expert advisors; the ones that enable you to foretell when the market would go up or down.</p>
<p>These automatic guys that do need the assistance of professionals have simplified the ways Forex used to be earlier. Almost 25% of the Forex trading activity takes place with Robots. Forex traders or Investors are also humans &amp; they need to relax or have some night freezing the trading for some time. But, the Robots being installed in the computer will we always on its work for the whole 24 hours. So, one is earning money even during the sleep time by having the robot working on the system to generate the earning.</p>
<p>These automated guys that do want the help of professionals have simplified the methods Foreign exchange was earlier. Almost 25% of the Forex trading exercise takes place with Robots. Forex merchants or Buyers are also humans &amp; they need to calm down or have some night freezing the buying and selling for some time. However, the Robots being put in within the pc will we all the time on its work for the entire 24 hours. So, one is earning cash even through the sleep time by having the robotic engaged on the system to generate the earning.</p>
<p>n recent times, trading with Forex Robots has been at the center of much controversy. It has sparked off plenty of debate as to whether trading with Forex Robots is a wise thing to do. Understandably, this has come about due to the bad experiences some may have encountered while using these programs. I can&#8217;t stress more that this is not always the case as it really depends on how an individual uses the program.</p>
<p>If there is something that computers can do better than humans, it is definitely in statistics and mathematics, and that is what the Forex market is all about. Forex Robots can easily analyze and identify trends in the market based on the charts that are generated from its database. Similar to what a Forex Trader does, a Forex Robots analyzes trade patterns and makes a trade. The key difference is that the Forex Robot does it faster, more accurately, and more importantly it does its job based merely on numbers and not on emotions. Besides that, it is also able to carry out trades round the clock!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Candlestick charting is a highly powerful tool in the trading arsenal of any trader. In the last two decades, candlestick charting has become highly popular. There are many candlestick patterns that give profitable trading signals. Some are simple while other are complex. Hammer, the Hanging Man and the Spinning Top are three simple candlestick patterns that can be easily spotted. All three are different!</p>
<p>The first question. How do you identify whether this is a Hanging Man or a Hammer? Hammer and the Hanging Man both have a very small candle body accompanied by a long wick either on the bottom. If this type of pattern appears at the top of an uptrend with the long wick at the bottom, it is a Hanging Man. And if it appears at the bottom of an downtrend it is a Hammer.</p>
<p>Now, in most of the cases, you will also find a small wick on the top of the candle body. Now suppose, you find the Hammer or the Hanging Man. What you need is to look for the confirmation the next day!</p>
<p>If the opening price on the next day is less than the previous day&#8217;s close, you have a true Hanging Man. If not, then that was not a true Hanging Man. Now suppose, you think that you have spotted the Hanging Man in an uptrend. Wait for the confirmation the next day with the opening price.</p>
<p>A Hammer should have a very small candle body with a long wick at the bottom. Similarly suppose, you think that you have correctly spotted the Hammer in a downtrend. You should confirm this with the opening price on the next day. If the opening price is higher than the closing price the previous day, you have a true Hammer. If the opening price is not higher than the closing price the last day, it is not a true Hammer!</p>
<p>Whenever, you trade candlestick patterns, first spot them correctly than wait for the confirmation on the following day. The best chart for these candlestick patterns is the daily chart. Once, you get the confirmation, trade these patterns. They can be highly profitable. But in case, you don&#8217;t get the confirmation the next day with the price action, simply ignore the pattern as not true.</p>
<p>A Spinning Top is another candlestick pattern that reveals a tight battle between the bulls and the bears. Whenever, the battle between the bulls and the bears ends in a draw on a trading day, the following day, one side has to give in. When this happens an explosive move in one direction is highly likely.</p>
<p>How to identify a SPINNING TOP? A Spinning Top has a very small candle body in the middle with two equal wicks on the top and the bottom. This pattern appears very frequently in the daily charts and can be highly profitable if spotted correctly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many analysts are of the opinion that commodity investing maybe the best investments in the early part of the 21st century. Take the name of oil, oil is the most heavily traded commodity in the world right now. Gold is another commodity that is reaching record price levels. Gold prices for the first time have breached the unheard of $1000 per ounce barrier. Investing in commodities may be the something that investors thought of boring and dull only a few decades back but not anymore now. If you are interested in investing in companies that are involved in the production, transformation and distribution of commodities, than one of the best ways to do so is through investing in the Master Limited Partnership (MLP).</p>
<p>MLPs are public entities that trade on public exchanges. An MLP issues shares that trade on an exchange just like a company stocks that trades on an exchange. You can invest in an MLP by buying its shares on an exchange. The shares that an MLP issues are called Units and the investors who own them are known as Unit Holders.</p>
<p>Now most of the MLPs trade on the New York Stock Exchange. A few MLPs also trade on the NASDAQ and the AMEX. When you invest in an MLP, you are essentially investing in public partnership. There are tax advantages to investing in MLP. Unlike regular corporations, an MLP is only taxed once. Because of Congressional Legislation, any MLP that derives 90% or more of its income from the production, distribution and transformation of commodities qualifies for this tax exempt scheme. You must be curious how this tax advantage works out.</p>
<p>There is a tax exemption on MLPs. You must be curious how this tax advantage works out. Because of Congressional Legislation, any MLP that derives 90% or more of its income from the production, distribution and transformation of commodities qualifies for this tax exempt scheme.</p>
<p>This tax advantage gives an MLP competitive advantage as compared to other corporations when competing for assets. This means a huge advantage for an MLP. Now an MLP is run by a General Partner (GP). In most cases, the majority of these GPs in MLPs are other corporate entities setup with the specific purpose of running an MLP.</p>
<p>The role of a GP is very important in an MLP. You as an investor in the assets of MLP might have a very limited role or say in its running. You can think of yourself as a sleeping partner in the MLP. In most cases, the majority of these GPs in MLPs are other corporate entities setup with the specific purpose of running an MLP. This tax advantage gives an MLP competitive advantage as compared to other corporations when competing for assets. This means a huge advantage for an MLP. Now an MLP is run by a General Partner (GP). But you don&#8217;t have to worry much about the GP. Most GPs do a good job of running the MLP as it is in their financial interests. GPs know that if they don&#8217;t make sound management and investment decisions, most of the investors my eventually deicide to divest themselves from the units of the MLP. Now you must know as a limited partner in an MLP, you have limited voting rights. This means when you invest in an MLP, you are giving away the keys of ownership to the GP. This means you are out of the decision making in an MLP.</p>
<p>Investing in MLP units can give you quarterly cash flows as well as appreciation of the unit price. An MLP is obligated to distribute all available cash back to its unit holders on a quarterly basis, so you will be getting a quarterly income from your units. Secondly as the MLP expands and grows overtime, its units may give you capital gain as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the  important indicators that  facilitate traders decipher candlestick charts are candlestick patterns. Candlestick patterns are valuable for making easy systems that will advise you regarding the  establishment of a trend in order for you to start trading.</p>
<p>Candlesticks have a formation that  displays the open, high, low and closing price of a currency, stock or commodity over a  duration. You can  typically choose the time frame that you want to show.</p>
<p>Day traders  generally choose 5 minutes though 15 minutes can be your  option for certain cases. Longer periods  may be  chosen for longer term trades.</p>
<p>The difference between open and close points are marked by the candle body. If it?s a white or blue / green on charts with color, the lower body is the open and while you were considering it, the  value  marked up. Should it be black or red in charts with color, the top  extent indicates the opening  value and during that period, the price moved down.</p>
<p>In candles, vertical lines  pointing up from the top and down from the bottom are  called wicks. The highest  price ever  obtained during the period is the top of the upper wick section.  On the other hand, the lowest  value is the bottom of the lower wick  part.</p>
<p>The  boon of this kind of analysis is that the trader can  straight off see whether prices rose or fell over the period. A white or green candle manifests a rising price or bearish tendency and a black or red candle signifies a dropping price or bullish tendency.</p>
<p>The connection of open and close values to high and low values can be  noted  spontaneously. Then there is a solid candle without a wick.</p>
<p>The name for this is Marubozu pattern. This means that the opening and closing prices were never reached in either direction by the low and high prices.</p>
<p>The opening was the high price  &amp; the closing was the  reduced price if the candle was red or black. The low price is the open and the close  is the high price when the candle is green or white.</p>
<p>A relatively uniform upward or downward trend is  defined by a long body. A reversal is  designated by a long wick on the top or on the bottom.</p>
<p>For accurate trend  identification a candlestick needs to be  examined in conjunction with the others that preceded it. Then you can devise more complex candlestick patterns  signifying the anticipated trends to come.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Crude oil trades around the world. Crude oil is one of the most heavily traded commodities in the world. Every day perhaps billions of dollars worth of crude oil gets traded. New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) is considered to be the hub of crude oil trading in the world.</p>
<p>You should be aware of the power of crude oil in the global economy. Crude oil trades around the world. Crude oil is one of the most heavily traded commodities in the world. Every day perhaps billions of dollars worth of crude oil gets traded. You must be thinking that crude oil contracts get traded between the oil producing countries like Saudi Arabia, Russia, Nigeria and so on with non oil countries. Now to your surprise, New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) is considered to be the hub of crude oil trading in the world.</p>
<p>Light Sweet Crude is the high grade, low sulfur content crude oil that is more easily refined than the thicker oils. Now crude oil coming out of some of the Venezuelan and Saudi Arabian Oil wells contains high sulfur content and requires special refineries that only process the high grade sulfur crude oil. On the other hand Iraqi oil is close to the ground and has very low sulfur content. Ever heard of Light Sweet Crude? Sulfur content in oil is considered to be very important. Lower the sulfur content in crude oil, the easier and less costly will be its refining. The higher the sulfur content in the crude oil, the more expensive its refining will be.</p>
<p>At NYMEX, you can trade crude oil futures contracts based on Dubai Crude Oil, Brent North Sea Crude Oil, differential between the light sweet crude oil and the four domestic grades of crude oil and a few more. Oil options are also traded on NYMEX. Now Dubai Crude Oil Futures contract is very popular. So, NYMEX offers you a host of futures as well as options contracts based on crude oil.</p>
<p>A barrel of oil contains 42 US gallons. Crude oil is traded in US dollars per barrel. In other words, the price of crude oil is quoted in US dollars per barrel. Now trading at NYMEX can be open outcry during the regular treading hours as well as electronic web based trading after hours.</p>
<p>Open outcry or electronic, it doesn&#8217;t make a difference to you. Most of the traders now day trade futures contracts from the comfort of their homes. Open outcry trading takes place between 10: 00 AM EST to 2:30 PM EST. After hour trading takes place on NYMEX ACCESSS system, an internet based trading platform starting at 3:15 PM EST Monday through Thursday and ending at 9:30 AM EST the following day. Sunday trading starts at 6:00 PM EST.</p>
<p>Open outcry trading takes place between 10: 00 AM EST to 2:30 PM EST. After hour trading takes place on NYMEX ACCESSS system, an internet based trading platform starting at 3:15 PM EST Monday through Thursday and ending at 9:30 AM EST the following day. Sunday trading starts at 6:00 PM EST. It&#8217;s always good to visit the website of the exchange to know more. You can visit the website of NYMEX and read a more about the crude oil trading that takes place at that exchange. Trading oil markets requires constant vigil on your part in monitoring the global supply and demand of crude oil. You will need to know which country supplies how much and what the productions quotas are for the time being. This is pretty scary stuff. Now you must know this thing that real companies have huge trading desks with hundreds of traders all betting on the price of oil. Oil markets are about real people trying to figure out how much oil they would need in the next few months to years to run their businesses regardless of whether they are suppliers or users. Trading crude oil futures contracts require you to be in tune with the market sentiment. Trends in crude oil market don&#8217;t develop suddenly and they don&#8217;t reverse suddenly. This is something good for you as a crude oil futures trader.</p>
<p>As a crude oil futures trader you will need to know how to handle the seasonal cycle in the oil market as well as the weekly cycle. Now every week usually on Wednesday the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the US Energy Information Agency (EIA) releases their weekly supply data reports.

The key to understanding energy trading is to understand oil, natural gas, gasoline and heating oil futures. Again crude oil prices have started rising. The recent price of crude oil was quoted as $ 80 per barrel. It is being predicted that the price will soon reach the $ 100 per barrel mark. Analysts are of the opinion that this price might reach as high as $ 200 per barrel. In any case, with the end of global recession, the demand for crude oil will again rise making the oil prices go sky high as the supply cannot keep up with the rising demand.</p>
<p>Trading in energy futures is centralized at the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), the world&#8217;s largest physical commodity futures exchange. NYMEX trades futures and options contracts for crude oil, natural gas, heating oil, gasoline, coal, electricity and propane. NYMEX is also home to trading in metals. Trading in NYMEX is conducted in two divisions: 1) The NYMEX Division and 2) The COMEX Division. For smaller traders NYMEX offers e-mini contracts for oil and natural gas that also trades on the GLOBEX network of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME).</p>

<p>Sometimes the rise in oil prices leads to the increase in interest rates through the bond market and the actions of central banks and the other times the opposite happens. Rise in oil prices if often inflationary. As a trader, you should know this fact that oil price rise often tends to slow down the economy and lower retail sales as well as consumer confidence with lower traffic on the highways.</p>
<p>High oil prices are considered to be inflationary and tend to slow down the economy. Low oil prices are always considered good for the economy. As a trader, you should know this fact that oil price rise often tends to slow down the economy and lower retail sales as well as consumer confidence with lower traffic on the highways. Sometimes the rise in oil prices leads to the increase in interest rates through the bond market and the actions of central banks and the other times the opposite happens. Rise in oil prices if often inflationary. Now all these effects have a time lag factor built in them. If the crude oil prices increase or jump suddenly like that in&#8217;73, it takes time for the increased oil prices to start affecting the other factors in the economy.</p>
<p>No new major discovery of an oil well has been made in the past two decades. This means that the supply of oil is dwindling while the global demand for oil is on the rise. Now you need to understand the Peak Oil Concept. Peak oil is the concept that the world oil production has peaked and the production of oil will never be as high again. Oil prices and the interest rates generally move in the same direction when viewed over long periods of time.</p>
<p>In any case, most of the experts now agree that in the next 10-20 years, the oil production will peak and after that it will start declining. Now you should keep these facts in the background of your mind as a trader.</p>
<p>Now this means that in the short run, following oil prices can be a highly profitable strategy. Your aim as a trader is to make quick profits by trading the price fluctuations in the oil market. So the important facts that you need to keep in the back of your mind while trading oil is: 1) Demand fluctuates but supply of oil is finite. 2) The world runs on oil and any threat to the supply of oil often leads to rising prices. As an oil trader your primary goal is to consider the effects of events on the supply of oil and correlate this effect with your charts.</p>
