Commodity Trading Online

Archive for the ‘commodity trading system’ Category

A sound trading strategy involves high probability risk/reward, money management and decisive adjustments. Let’s look at what it takes to have success in commodity futures trading. What skills does it take to be successful in agricultural futures trading and what are some important points to remember?

## Commodity Futures Trading Strategy

You need a solid system and a well-thought-out strategy when it comes to commodity futures trading. There’s actually a name for when you have a good strategy: it’s called “trend-following swing-trading.” It’s not trend-following in a negative way — it means choosing the trend in your market and trading in that specific direction. You find something (like gold) on an uptrend and you buy long, or sell short if it’s trending downwards. This is all about discipline.

## Understanding When You Should Make a Decision

The point of decision making is that there really shouldn’t be any split-second decisions made on anything but your pre-existing system. You can’t do anything from your gut or on the day of trading — the whole difference between a professional approach to investing that gets you long-term results, vs. one that simply makes you a “picker/chooser” is that the systems method takes the random, dangerous guesswork out, and replaces it with discipline.

## Dealing With Fluctuation

The idea of a give/take is fundamental to making any money in a market of any kind. When you’re only fixated on gains and can’t suffer even the smallest loss, the standard fluctuations in any market will cause you to give up your strategy far too early — erasing whatever long-term gains you stood to get out of the system. Think of surfing: there are long waves that you ride to the end, and then you sit and wait until a new one comes. You aren’t always on top of the wave.

It’s not that hard to be a great trader — look at the consistency and simplicity with which Warren Buffet has managed his holdings. You’ll have trouble understanding commodity futures trading at first, but knowing what to expect and sticking to your core values (which you need to lay out in a clear system beforehand) will help immensely. Use hard work, and stay determined. Ride the wave (and be prepared for the lull) as you find financial success.

I have been trying my best to create a substantial income for who know many years. Life has always bothered me with money. I think I hate money more than anything else in the world. They are mortifying objects that consistently do their job in most articulate manner. It seems the core idea of survival has ended for good. We eat, sleep, and take shit to live. Never mind the fact of other significances of one’s livelihood. Only thing that people truly have problem is the fact that we can find enough foods to live. Yes, things have changed and keeping my belly full is not an issue. But it is still the main core of human society. It has always been and it will probably be the key. Why would I say that? Well, around the world people die due to lack of food and water. Some, like us, live well filled life; yet there are countless people out there who need food and water. In reality, as I like to say, we are no better off than those third world country bastards. We simply replaced the main problem of survival with meaningless goods that only weights less than an insect. It has come to a point where it is no longer “food” that people want, but “money” is what keeps thing going.

Money is defined as medium that allows people to be more efficient in trading for overall benefits. In reality, it is immeasurable good and it is filled with greed. In a perfectly calculated world, each one of us would have ability to justify each cent that we use as medium. Well, we all know that it is not true. What it comes down to is that money becomes a necessity good just like most commodities. We no longer want food and water, but money and things that can be bought in exchange; I am referring to things that do not have any significance in our livelihood unless we decide to make them to be one. Demand and Supply of goods fluctuate partially due to this phenomenon that we call “money”. Economists would simply put money aside as a good tool that is needed to continue the growth. They lie to themselves about the consequences of money. It not only creates economic chaos, it also creates tension and corrosion in society. In a sense, money is the key problem of inflation; and inflation it self, is created by money. What we deny is the system that we uphold so highly. Since it is the system that has been somewhat perfected within the accumulation of history, we cannot get rid of the idea and nature of it.

Growth is the issue that I see it as a problem. Growth is desperately needed for countries to develop into a fine, self confident, sovereign state. The idea of growth is created to have an adverse effect on society. It is not just our society that has seen flourishing growth over the years. There are evidences of great civilizations for thousands of years. Yet, I believe, they all died due to the limited ‘capability’ that is placed upon them. Basically, Capitalism requires capital, yet there is only certain level of capital that we can extract. In reality, growth can only exists when there is an existence of force that can exploit the earth. As long as there is a way for us to exploit whatever we have for natural resources, we can grow. Globalization is a tool for nations to exploit more, therefore to grow more and faster. Can we truly admit the fact of this cruel truth?

Thanx 'image…' for your answer.
I guess this is what I get for writing a small portion of my self pleasuring (only to myself of course) thesis. In reality, you did not get what I was trying to say. In a ‘small’ portion, I mentioned poverty in order to express the idea of survival that has been in existence for countless years. I do not believe I placed poverty any closer than that to ‘globalization’. “We are no better off than those third world country bastards” — this is what I wrote in my first paragraph. It should show you, in a small portion, which I was trying to express the feeling that we are no better than those who do not have enough food and water to survive.
My main point of this paragraph is: the bare meaning of money = food and water, in which we make this situation come true in today’s society. Therefore, I feel no need to go further about this issue. Meaning, I will simply have to disregard your answer since you did not fully understand my intent or logic of my somewhat question like question. However, if you wish, I could say something about your stand on poverty in general if you like. If it is what you wish, just send me an email. I will be more than happy to reply. Just for a memo, I am not “totally” against capitalism and you should have caught that detail from my question like question.

Wow i love this question and suprised not more peopl answered but anyways i disagree. The human race we are out their to surive therefore we compete with each other (exploit). I see money not as a tool for mass exploitation but i a tool for an evening the playing field. Money measures how hard we work and our talents in a society. Isnt more fair for a man that works all of his life to get the pretty girl rather than a guy thats just born good looking. Money is powerful because it puts a direct value of the actions that we do and that is what our world is based on, and i think its fair the harder you work the more money u earn. At least with money we have an ability to become a success when in nature it is purely based with i dunno strenght and similar “physical atrributes”

A big share of this multi-billion dollar revenues of narcotics are deposited in the Western banking system.

But an important point is that this “illicit” trade cannot survive unless the main actors involved in narcotics have "political friends in high places."

Revenues from the CIA sponsored Afghan drug trade are huge. The Afghan trade in opiates constitutes a large share of the worldwide annual turnover of narcotics. (Douglas Keh, Drug Money in a Changing World, Technical document No. 4, 1998, Vienna UNDCP, p. 4. See also United Nations Drug Control Program, Report of the International Narcotics Control Board for 1999, E/INCB/1999/1 United Nations, Vienna 1999, p. 49-51, and Richard Lapper, UN Fears Growth of Heroin Trade, Financial Times, 24 February 2000).

According to IMF estimates, global money laundering is between 590 billion and 1.5 trillion dollars a year, representing 2-5 percent of global GDP, a big share of global money laundering is linked to the trade in narcotics.

According to 2003 figures, drug trafficking constitutes "the third biggest global commodity in cash terms after oil and the arms trade." (The Independent, 29 February 2004).

Hence, the above figures show that most of the revenues linked to the global trade in narcotics are not appropriated by “terrorist” organisations and warlords, as claimed by the U.S. officials and the American President

Y'know? I was wondering why, with all the unilateral military action from the U.S., no one has bothered to just spray the poppy fields. Thank you for giving me some data to work with.

“I am not a conventionally religious man, or even a very superstitious one, but I do wish George Bush would stop asking God to bless America. Every time he does, we seem to be visited with another plague, suggesting divine wrath over our president’s evil ways. How else to explain the persistent calamity that has marked this administration: a pointless but very costly war over nonexistent Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, the devastating New Orleans flood, the betrayal of the nation by the money-changers—from Enron to Goldman Sachs—that Bush welcomed into the temple of the White House?

What’s next? Pestilence, frogs, locusts or incurable boils? Dare we risk four more years of catastrophic misrule by a “W” alter ego? For those indifferent to the serious implications of that question, I recommend Oliver Stone’s new bio-flick, which brilliantly captures the “banality of evil” that has controlled our political life these past eight years. This phrase from Hannah Arendt’s characterization of the mundane cruelty that so marked the daily experience of European fascism has a frightening applicability to the Republican leadership that has done so much damage to this nation’s reputation for democratic integrity.

Cynicism rules even as ritualistic prayer breaks, as depicted in the film “W,” abound. The pretense of piety earns the president and his accomplices a get-out-of-jail-free card; at no point in the film do any in the top ranks of this administration—captured so accurately and depressingly—accept one iota of accountability for how much damage they have wrought. Unrepentant, the same Republican apparatchiks are employing the familiar Rovian tactic of divide and conquer in seeking to continue their hold on power. Once again, they seek to focus attention on hot-button social issues and patriotic litmus tests to draw attention from the fact that family values are being destroyed by the loss of job and home.

Perhaps John McCain is not a perfect replica of George W. Bush, but the parallels go beyond the senator’s enthusiastic support for the toxic mix of Bush’s imperial foreign policy and his arrogant indifference to the travails of our domestic existence. Neither man seems to have any sense of how we actually live or what we need from government. How else to explain their common antipathy to Social Security and Medicare, which, after public education, represent the nation’s most successful programs? Can you imagine the panic today if McCain and Bush had succeeded in tying Social Security to investments in the stock market? They view government as nothing more than a proud sponsor of the military-industrial complex while ignoring the threat to homeland security from corporate pirates.

Don’t say we weren’t warned. Bush came into office believing fervently that what was good for Enron and its CEO, Kenneth “Kenny Boy” Lay, Bush’s top financial sponsor, was good for the country. So, too, McCain, who chose Phil Gramm as co-chair of his presidential campaign, ignoring the huge loophole in Gramm’s Commodity Futures Trading Act, which allowed Enron, where his wife, Wendy Gramm, was on the board of directors, to so shamelessly game the energy market.

Trumpeting the benefits of the legislation he tacked onto an omnibus spending bill the day before the 2000 Christmas recess, then-Sen. Gramm stated: “It protects financial institutions from over-regulation. It provides legal certainty for the $60 billion market in swaps.” Those swaps created the toxic investments that U.S. taxpayers are now stuck with as the nation struggles to save those unregulated financial institutions from bankruptcy.

McCain, who should have learned the cost of radical deregulation from his own involvement in the savings and loan scandal as one of the infamous “Keating Five,” totally bought Gramm’s line. McCain was the chair of Gramm’s 1996 presidential bid and up until major Wall Street firms collapsed continued to echo the insistence of the former-Texas-senator-turned-banker that there was no real crisis in the financial markets.

McCain evidences the underlying motivator attributed to Bush in Stone’s movie: the distorted priorities of a son of privilege doing battle with the legacy of more gifted and responsible family ancestors. Both grew up as spoiled screw-ups repeatedly bailed out of trouble by their highly accomplished fathers, in McCain’s case an admiral, and both assume, as a matter of legacy, that they have a right to rule. What they ignored in their legacy was a Christian’s obligation to make the economic system that handsomely rewarded their kin at least minimally responsive to the needs of ordinary folk
”

Bail Out huh? The only ones that got bailed out is Bush and his gang of thugs. I keep telling everyone, Bush and his thugs know that they are getting fired, so they just wanted to empty the cash register before they leave the store Duh!
