The goal of this booklet is to provide futures and commodities traders the factors that, in my experience, are critical to surviving in today's markets.

These are my observations based on a lifetime in trading futures, and working with online and floor traders, with those just learning to trade futures, to professional day traders. My hope is that "Futures Trading Lessons Learned" will give you additional insight to increase your odds of success at all levels of experience.

Chapters Include:

  • There Are No Silver Bullets, Magic Answers or Trading Secrets
  • The Two Fundamental Functions of Commodities Futures Markets
  • Factors That I Believe Play a Large Role In Losing Trades
  • Defending Your Trade
  • Options on Futures Traded Commodities
  • The Delicate Art of Spreading
  • Unraveling the Mystery of Selling Short
  • Taking a Loss
  • I Told You There Are No Magic Bullets

I've seen traders spend more time looking for magic trading systems than studying the market. Someone is always offering a new trading program, trading method or book with the latest "can't miss" system. There just isn't that silver trading bullet. To that end neither is this booklet. I look forward to sharing these trading lessons with you.

Futures Trading Lessons Learned

Futures trading involves the risk of loss and may not be suitable for everyone.

The risk of loss in trading commodity futures and options can be substantial. Before trading, you should carefully consider your financial position to determine if futures trading is appropriate. When trading futures and/or options, it is possible to lose more than the full value of your account. All funds committed should be risk capital. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
