A Trader's First Book on Commodities: Everything you need to know about futures and options trading before placing a trade

I'm a stock option trader for about 10 years and was trying to find a good book on learning the commodities markets for futures and options on futures. When I received this book, I was very pleased to see the workbook format with large pages, big charts, and a comprehensive approach to all aspects of trading commodities. I found the book I was looking for! Thanks Carley!

Excellent first book on commodities, futures, and options if you know nothing about them. The book is comprehensive on many investments such as Commodities, Stock Index Futures, Interest Rate Futures, Currency Futures, and other investments. But, it only goes into depth on a few.The author suggests that novice traders choose their broker wisely.1 The author warns "some of the most successful traders report account-draining losses on numerous occasions before gaining the experience needed to be among the estimated 20% of profitable traders."2If you're new to commodities, you probably should do more research: read other books, magazines, movies, newspapers, podcasts, television shows, websites, etc. before making any trades. I believe that someone with a business background, or business degree(s), is more likely to do well trading commodities, than someone without such qualifications.This book is filled with many technical terms, which makes it difficult to read. But, if you keep on reading, using brute force if necessary, the book starts to make sense, sort of. In the end, the buyer should beware when trading in the commodities market.1 pp.77-1132 p. 216

I'm still listening to this Text to Speech: Enabled kindle book. I like screening books that way to see if they will be worth my time to read them the regular way. Though I've not finished this book yet, I have heard enough to know that this one will be well worth my time to read the regular way if I'm serious about becoming a trader. Loaded with some good info.

This is a great read for those who wish to transition from trading in equities markets or new to trading and wish to explore commodities. The author takes careful aim and explaining the fine details that often get overlooked when starting out to trade. The only thing that becomes a bit annoying in this publication is the constant reminder of another publication this author has out there. While there is room to redirect to such a publication for more insight and better strategies in trading commodities, it eventually becomes a tad excessive throughout this publication.

This is a great introduction to trading futures. Covers a lot of basics and does not sugar coat the challenges or massive losses that are involved in trading futures. Highly recommend as premier.

I’ve wanted to trade futures for a very long time and have read many books that gave the basics. This book gave the basics and a lot more. I really felt after reading this book that I could realistically do it without putting up a fortune to open an account.

Read this book first before you even think about trading futures and commodities it will give you a good grounding in preparing to trade in the futures and commodity markets.

Don't trade unless you read this book. If you're already trading, read it anyway. Very clear and worth the time.

Really Good Book, i must for all Traders in their Library, I really like the author too, a real person. Go Carly Go!
