Traders who use only the price chart movements to make trading decisions are
known as technical analysts. They believe that the secret of where prices are going
is hidden in the patterns of where they have been. Our recommendation of

- Fundamental Analysis
Traders who make trading decisions solely on those factors which affect supply
and demand are know as fundamental analysts. In the grains, for example, they would
be interested in weather conditions, transportation problems, planting details, demand for
products using that grain in their manufacture and on-and-on. Our Fundamental
Analysis recommendation follows.

- Trading Psychology
Greed drives the markets. The desire to make money draws investors to the
market. Once in a trade, traders must learn to control greed in determining when to
exit the trade. Many feel that the double edged sword of greed has such a profound
effect on trading, that its role should be completely understood by those who wish to
trade. Our recommendations on trading psychology books follow.

- Options
Options are also known as derivatives. They represent a method of trading
in the commodity markets without the necessity of entering into a delivery contract.
For a price, much less than the price of a contract, a trader can purchase an option to
buy or sell a futures contract at a specific contract price. The option itself can
increase in value as the commodity contract price changes. Some traders find options
attractive because their risk is limited to the price they pay for the option. We
recommend the following as introductions to trading options.

- Spreads
There are many commodity contracts whose price charts are somewhat locked
together--e.g, different months of the same commodity. In reality, they do not
exactly track one another but increase and decrease at different rates and maybe even go
in different directions. Spread traders take advantages of these differences by
simultaneously selling one contract and buying the other. The two contracts
collectively increase or decrease in value as the two contracts move together or
apart. Many traders consider trading spreads to be less risky than traditional
contract trading. We recommend the following on Spread trading.

- Day Trading
This is a simple concept. By its strict definition, Day Traders are
completely out of the market when the markets are closed--every trade is closed by the end
of the trading session. These traders generally profit from small changes in the
price of a commodity and must be able to buy and sell rapidly throughout the trading
session. Day trading is generally considered a high risk form of trading and is not
recommended for the beginner. Consider the following to learn more about day
trading.

After learning about the futures markets, technical analysis and fundamental
analysis, a trader should develop a method by which buy and sell decisions are made.
With many traders, the method is highly personalized, developed and improved by the
individual trader. The following describe some of the concepts of trading methods
and systems.
