    The Commodity Trader's Helper is a collection of definitions, examples and references written as a collection of web pages and especially for the new futures trader. The examples and definitions assume no prior trading knowledge and are presented in a clear and concise manner. Additionally, because it is written as a network of web pages, hypertext is freely used to offer quick explanations and extended examples where required. You can find a topic by looking through the Contents listing or by searching the index. Get a feel for the appearance of the Helper by clicking the following link:
