Your trading story may read something like mine. For twelve to fifteen years I bought every book that sounded good and studied harder than a master's candidate, went to seminars, bought programs to write my own trading system, took every day trading course, planned to develop the Holy Grail of trading, but all I did was develop a smaller bank account and lost a lot of time. None of it worked; the books, seminars, programs, indicators, most commodity trading software and systems are all useless. They all trade behind the market movement.

The best I could ever do was to lose money to the market, until I found this program. It is not the Holy Grail, but it is the closest thing to it I have found. Our traders average ten points a day and more with this commodity future online trading system. I cannot say how well you will do, but you can get a good idea after attending the one week free trial.

Future | Commodity Trading System

And that's exactly what we do every day, without indicators or studies, often resulting in ten point trades and more. Trades are called in real time and most entries are called well in advance of the market movement. We are trading the S&P 500 e-mini but the program can be used for any future, commodity, or stock as well as emini day trading. We trade the e-mini because contracts can be filled immediately and usually the market moves favorably. Even on choppy days our traders do extremely well. The program works under any market condition. Register now for a one week free trial and see our day trading strategy at work.....

S&P 500 E-Mini futures options..

For many years we have managed a few large hedge fund type accounts via selling options on the S&P 500 futures index. These accounts have always seen alot of activity in trading but we always had questions from our regular subscribers about why we didn't have outright sell trades for them. The main reason was because we are very active in them and do receive a profit commission for trading. The second reason was because the account size needed to trade even one contract was very high thus making it impossible for many to trade.

The CME developed the S&P 500 futures e-mini contract in 1999 and made it completely electronic to trade. With it came options and very low margin requirements so after we tested it we started the S&P 500 futures Option E-mini trading program selling the E-mini Options outright to mimic our credit spread trades with the new index. This program is very much like the "Ultra Conservative" trade strategy but you just take out the buy side of the trade. To place a trade at these levels we need to see a possible success level of 95% plus. The benefit of this type of trading is that you can make more trades as the premiums go down or trade both the upside and downside at the same time with only one margin requirement! There are so many options out there that expire worthless it's almost a tragedy to miss out on selling them as long as you do it with great safety and use stops...

The Agora Outlook is a very valuable tool in better equipping you as an informed investor. ( Note: In order to receive the trade ALERTS or up to the minute news, you need to provide us with an e-mail address.) If you have any questions or comments about this type of trading please don't hesitate to contact us as we can send you out an e-mail letter that covers the above trading methods in more detail.....

Simply put, our trades involve selling options in a way which gets time working for you instead of against you. Most people who buy options do so to make a profit on a rising or falling market. Unfortunately, over 88% of all index options expire worthless! The problem is, the index may go the wrong way or it may not go anywhere so the investor’s premium in the option slowly decays. As each day and hour goes by, the option moves closer to expiration reducing the time premium! A trade can be profitably made if the market is moving up, down or even sideways! This gives investors the opportunity to make money 66% of the time instead of only 33%, which is the case when you outright buy for either a rising or falling market. This means that our program has a much higher success rate than the traditional buy and sell method! We apply a mathematical model to the market to find trades that make time work for you instead of against you. This is what makes our program unique! We always try, if the opportunity presents itself to trade the market on both the upside and the downside as our program supplies the upside and downside closing boundaries of a particular expiration cycle. This also means that you are guaranteed a win on at least one trade.

The Agora Outlook’s unique trading program usually involves two different types of trades. When we first went online we focused on what we called "Long trades" which are now just called Regular trades. These trades use the program's mathematical quotient and basic rules for a trade. There must be at least a 85% probability of success registered by the program. An "ALERT" is then sent out telling people of a possible trade to be placed either that day or the following. Normally, these trades are held from expiration to expiration but can sometimes be bought back early.

Our Ultra Conservative trades have been going since the beginning of the Agora Outlook. They were used when actual mailing was the only way to send trades out to people. It was a type of trade that you could place and leave alone no matter what happened in the market. With mail outs it was hard to be able to make any changes to trades so a high probability of success was needed. We canceled our mail out program a few years ago because of the use of e-mail but because the demand was so high for the Ultra Conservative trade program we continued it. It is a very conservative way to trade the market with much lower returns but the trades have even a higher probability of success. With the volatility of the past couple of years these trades haven't even been affected. The program must give a reading of 95% plus accuracy to be able to place a trade. The average return on a trade is anywhere from 5-20% per month. An average year will see a 60%-90% return. We have changed the program a little to adjust to this extra volatility so in time it may turn out to even see higher profits!.....

We use a unique program for trading index options which is opposite of the buy and sell method of trading options. What we do is sell options using credit spreads and outright selling techniques and watch the premium evaporate over time. We mainly trade the S&P 100 and 500 cash and futures indexes. Besides our trading program, the publication is designed to inform you of significant economic news, the mood and technical condition of the market and relevant trade data by e-mailing it directly to you. If there is an important news event that moves the market we also let you know about it right after it occurs! .....

The special emphasis of the Agora Outlook is its unique trading program. Established in 1990, by Ken Davidson, the program concentrates on trading U.S. indexes. Mr. Davidson has tested his program with key option indexes since 1982 and to date has produced an impressive 94% reliability. Since he began actual trading in 1990, the program has produced an average 134% profit per year, excluding commissions. The program has never had a down year!...

In My First Month Trading I Turned a Starting Stake of $360 into $19,800...

Since then my performance has continued at a more realistic level and despite losing the odd trade every month I continue to return a very reasonable profit.

However, my overall success stands at over 90% winning rate, I'm not aware of any other trading strategy which can maintain this level of success.

Making money isn’t clever. It’s just the leverage making your money work harder for you. I’m sure the big institutions don’t want people to make money!

I'm frugal and just hate to lose money! I live modestly, have never flown in an airplane. Cooking is my hobby and I love to create my own curries and stews.

I have identified a set of parameters that win a high percentage of the time allowing me to trade just once a day for around sixty minutes . Being a bit of a night owl, I sometimes stay up to trade the Nikkei index but am happiest trading the Dow Jones online.

Whereas many people concentrate on trying to make a big win, I'm is satisfied with any kind of profit at all.

Traditional systems are perhaps right just over 50% of the time, they need to cut losses and let profits run to be successful.

However, I favor systems that are often right 80% or more of the time, by allowing more latitude for the market to go wrong before it reverts to my benefit.

I'm happy to make a good living trading, rather than looking to be the big trader who makes the $million deals.

In My First Month Trading I Turned a Starting Stake of $360 into $19,800 ... Beginners Luck Perhaps?

Good morning",

"It’s very easy to make money in the markets – all you have to do is buy when it’s going up and sell when it’s going down".

This may sound too simple ... but according to one journalist: 'it’s the simplicity and crystal clarity of vision that marks Kobewka out as a ‘natural’ trader, although he is the first to admit that ‘you’ve got to work for it’.

I was born on a farm in 1960, a real yella-belly!

From the age of 13 I wanted to become a stockbroker. I had no idea what they did but I knew they had big houses and made lots of money. I became the ‘man’ of the family at ten when my father died, and at 16 left school to be a mechanical engineer.

I was honoured with ‘apprentice of the year’ at 17, honing my skills at sheet metal, welding, fitting, milling, turning and electrical work. After moving up in the company and participating in a management buyout, I helped the new business to become profitable.

But although things were going well for me, I felt I was not fulfilling my calling ... I knew that trading was what I really wanted to do.

So how did I make the move from engineering management to successful trading? You ask.

Initially, I set up an account with a spreadbetting firm to punt on Grand Prix races and other sports events with moderate results, won some, lost more!!!

Over time I turned my attention to new markets and systems and after a long period of trial and error finally came up with a profitable system of my very own - 60 Minute Trader

Commodity futures aim to transfer risks associated with the ownership of a commodity. The commodity may be anything, from wheat to a foreign currency. At the time of the futures contract, the actual commodities do not physically change hands.

When commodity futures contracts are traded with high leverage, they fall in the high risk area and get close to speculation. However, such kind of trading can also be done using low leverage to provide favorable payoffs. This technique would place futures trading in the low risk spectrum.

The Use of Currency Futures

The Use of Currency Futures

The currency futures market is also used by some companies for hedging. These companies either purchase currency futures for their future payables, or sell the futures on currencies for their future receipts. Speculators may also buy or sell futures on a foreign currency as a protection against the strengthening or weakening of the US dollar. So, speculators may be able to earn profit from the rise or fall of these exchange rates.

Risks of Currency Futures

Investors are advised to enter into this field only if they have in-depth knowledge of how risky this segment of financial market really is...

Currency Futures as Standardized Contracts

Like all futures contracts, currency futures are standardized contracts too. The futures exchange sets the contract specifications. However, only the exchange rate can be negotiated by the buyers and sellers. The remaining specifications, such as defining the underlying currency, trading unit and delivery month, are set by the futures exchange..

Currency Futures and Futures Exchanges

currency futures are traded according to the rules and regulations that are drawn by the futures exchanges. The trading can be done either on the floors of these futures exchanges or these exchanges can facilitate electronic trading for its members.

Trading Futures: What does it Involve?

There are two aspects that distinguish futures trading from trading in stocks or bonds.

• A futures contract has a specified lot size. So, there could be a futures contract of 100 shares of IBM or 50 shares of Cisco Systems. You could also opt for an index. For instance, one could opt for purchasing the E-mini S&P 500 futures contract. This gives you exposure to all the stocks in this index.


• You can trade with margin payment. This means that when you purchase a futures contract, you do not have to pay the entire amount of the contract. You only need to pay a specified margin amount. For instance, you could purchase a futures contract for 100 shares of IBM worth $102 per share at a 20% margin. This means that instead of paying $10,200 (100 x $102), you need to pay only $2040 (20% of $10,200). This offers substantial leverage to the investor...

Trading Futures, Online Futures Trading, Futures Trade

Futures trading is a form of investment involving speculation of the price of a commodity in the future. Futures are derivatives bought or sold on a futures exchange. They are contracts to buy or sell a particular amount of a commodity at a predetermined price on a specified date in the future. Trading futures is not for newcomers to investing, since it involves high risk.

The majority of futures trading is speculative and involves cash settlements (also known as paper investing), rather than for the actual physical delivery of the commodity. Online futures trading is not as popular as online stock trading, since the former is substantially more risky.

Till the 1980s, futures trading comprised of only a handful of farm products. The popularity of the futures market subsequently rose and in the 21st century it involves a huge variety of commodities, including:

metals - like gold, silver and platinum.

livestock – such as pork bellies and cattle.

energy - like crude oil and natural gas.

foodstuffs – such as coffee and orange juice.

industrial products - like lumber and cotton.

currencies.

indices - such as the Dow Jones, Nasdaq and S&P 500.,,

Futures: Types of Settlement

Here are two types of settlements in the futures market – physical settlement and cash settlement. A futures contract is physically settled if the underlying asset is actually delivered in exchange for the settlement price. This is not the case with cash settlement, where no physical delivery of the underlying asset takes place...

Instead, the futures contract is settled for money depending on what the market value of the contract is expected to be at maturity. Speculators opt for cash settlements, which those with interest in the underlying commodity opt for physical settlement...

The futures market is not for the novice trader. It is critical that you check your financial situation, investing goals and risk appetite before venturing into futures trading.

Pricing of Futures

When the price of the underlying commodity in a futures contract is higher than the spot (immediate) price, the situation is known as contango. When the price of the underlying commodity for future delivery is lower, the situation is known as backwardation.

The price of a futures contract can be calculated with the following formula

where,

F(t) = future value

S(t) = present value

t = time

T = maturity

r = rate of return..

Common Features of Futures

The common features of futures are:-

Futures are exchange-traded derivatives.

Futures are highly standardized. This standardization is ensured by specifying (a)

The underlying asset – The particular asset as well as the quantity are specified in the futures contract.

The currency - The currency in which the contract is to be executed is also specified.

Settlement - The delivery month and the last trading date are also mentioned in the contract.

Futures are used for hedging, particularly in a bear market. Those who have an interest in the underlying asset can protect themselves from the risk of price changes via futures contracts.

Futures have lower transaction costs than other debt instruments.

They also have high liquidity, since buyers and sellers of futures contracts can be found easily...

Futures

Futures or futures contracts are derivatives bought or sold on a futures exchange. Futures are contracts to buy or sell a particular commodity at a specified price on a certain date in the future. The underlying asset could be commodities, energy, currencies, government bonds or other financial instruments. The future date on which the contract is executed is known as the final settlement date or the delivery date. The predetermined price is known as the settlement price. The mechanism for settlement is provided by the clearinghouse of the futures exchange...

Risks of Commodity Options

Commodity options may promise huge returns on a small margin. However, such high returns are not always certain. Note that small fluctuations in the price of the underlying commodity may induce broad movements in the prices and hence result in great losses...

Benefits of Commodity Options

Commodity options are used widely by individual investors, hedgers, and aggressive investors. They are effective tools in hedging against risks due to crop failures and anticipated losses that occur because of uncertainties in other market segments...

How are Commodity Options Traded?

Commodity options are traded in an organized options exchange. These exchanges are responsible for standardizing the contracts by specifying the terms that need to be incorporated in the contracts. These include the quantity, price and future date expiration of the underlying commodity. The exchanges serve as facilitators of commodity options trading and ensure that the trade is fair and transparent...

Commodity Options

Commodity options are agreements between buyers and sellers that give buyers the right (but not the obligation) to buy or sell a certain amount of commodity at a specified price on a specified future date. Any commodity, such as grain or crude oil, can be used as the underlying asset for a commodity options contract...

A buyer of the commodities option has the right to buy or sell the underlying option before the contract expires. However, the right to exercise the option of either buying or selling does not put the buyer under an obligation to exercise this option. At the same time, the seller is bound to buy or sell the underlying. To exercise this flexible option, a buyer pays a premium to the seller of the option...

Commodity options are of two types: call options and put options. In a call option, the buyer of the option has the right to buy the underlying commodity at a prescribed price on a date that is specified for the future. Meanwhile, a put option provides the right to sell the underlying commodity at a prescribed price at the prescribed future date. The price that is fixed to buy or sell on a specific date in the future is known as the strike price.

How are expiration dates managed?.

All futures contracts have expirations dates. There are three basic approaches for managing the expiration of futures contracts:-

• Offset your position
• Wait until the contract expires, then make or take delivery
• Roll the position over from one contract month into the next.

All futures contracts have expirations dates. There are three basic approaches for managing the expiration of futures contracts:

• Offset your position

Prior to expiration, you may offset by covering (buying back) a short position or selling a long position. You do not have to wait until the expiration date to complete your trade.

Example: A trader takes a long position of 2 contracts of XYZ company (equal to 200 shares) that expire in December. To offset the position, the trader would subsequently sell 2 contracts of XYZ with the same expiration month. The trader could just as easily have taken an initial short position by selling 2 December XYZ contracts and then offsetting this position by buying 2 contracts of December XYZ.

• Wait until the contract expires, then make or take delivery

On the expiration date, holders of short positions of stock futures are required to deliver physical shares of the underlying stock, and holders of long positions take delivery of the underlying stock.

This means that buying a single stock future and holding it until expiration guarentees your ownership of the underlying stock after the expiration date. If you offset your position, this process does not apply. Consult your broker regarding its procedures and fees associated with delivery if you are considering holding a stock until expiration.

• Roll the position over from one contract month into the next

If you hold a long position in a given expiration month, you can simultaneously sell that expiration month and buy the next expiration month for an agreed-upon price differential. Thus, the position is transferred, or rolled forward, and can be held for a longer period..

What are the advantages of narrow-based indices?.

Investors can take a long or short position in a concentrated basket of stocks without incurring multiple transaction fees. Many difficult-to-execute or advanced investing strategies such as spread trading or sector rotation can be executed quickly and cost-efficiently, as narrow-based indices are also subject to a margin requirement of 20% of the cash value of the contract..

What are narrow-based indices?.

Narrow-based indices are small groups of stocks that allow an investor to take a position in a concentrated are of the equities market such as airlines, computers or semiconductor components. Each narrow-based index generally includes about five companies..,

What are the advantages of single stock futures?.

There are three significant advantages:.

• With margin requirements of 20%, single stock futures provide a highly capital efficient way to participate in equities.
• No uptick is required to establish a short position.
• Market participants initiating a short position should benefit from eliminating the costs and inefficiencies associated with the stock loan process.

Trading futures involves the risk of loss. This includes the possibility of loss greater than your initial investment. Stock futures may not be suitable for all investors. Consult your broker or financial advisor before trading..

How does the futures price track with the price of the underlying security?.

Single stock futures values are priced by the market in accordance with a theoretical pricing model based on a formula:

Most of the time, single stock futures will trade at a premium to the stock price adjusted for the broker loan rate. The premium reflects the interest earned on the capital saved by not posting the full value of the underlying stock. Since futures holders are not entitled to collect dividends, the futures price must be adjusted downward by the expected amout of dividend payments prior to expiration. In the case where a large dividend payment is expected, the futures contract may theoretically trade at a discount to the actual cash price.

A stock futures contract may not always trade at the theoretically correct price due to a number of other market factors, such as whether the underlying stock is difficult to borrow for covering short trades..

What are single stock futures?.

Single stock futures are futures contracts on individual stocks. There are currently over 80 well-known stock futures such as IBM, eBay, and Philip Morris. These futures products provide investors with a cost-effective vehicle for participating in U.S. equities markets.'

Single Stock Futures offer investors a cheaper way of investing in the equity markets and should, therefore, have considerable appeal. They represent one the most interesting developments in the field of financial derivatives. This is both because of their trading potential, which is very large, and the fact that they have only recently became legal in the US.'

With SSF, investors are now able to trade futures contracts on some of the most popular individual stocks traded on stock exchanges in the US, or on “baskets” of stocks in selected sectors. SSF include approximately 50-70 of the most popular and actively traded stocks in the U.S., such as Microsoft, Pfizer, General Electric, IBM, Citigroup, AOL Time Warner, and Johnson & Johnson, to name a few. In addition, investors can also trade Narrow Based Indices (“NBI”). NBI are small groups of stocks in a concentrated area of the equities market, such as airlines, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, energy and automotive.'

The platform gives you access to the world’s largest commodity markets at competitive prices.'

Trading Commodities with Finotec

On the Finotec' Trading Platform, buying and selling commodities is easy. We offer the most popular commodities to trade, including gold, silver, crude oil and others, and we plan to add more in the near future . Within one click, you can buy or sell those commodities 24 hours a day and benefit from 1:20 leverage (5% margin).

Also, with Finotec, you can view real-time quotes, charts and graphs with all of the technical indicators you need to analyze trends and predict market movements. And to keep you informed and updated about the latest developments in the commodity markets, our experts provide you with weekly and daily reports which include an analysis of price movements in crude oil, gold, silver and other major commodities.

As a Finotec client, you can view real time crude oil prices online or receive them via SMS or phone. Upon buying or selling a specified commodity on the platform, you may request to be notified by SMS, phone or e-mail when its price goes up or down or when it reaches a certain level.

Reading Commodity Quotes

The price of gold and silver refers to their price per ounce and in USD. For example, when you see a price quote for gold as follows: 653.65/654.15, it means that an ounce of gold is traded for 653.65 USD (sell) and 654.15 USD (buy).

For crude oil, the price refers to its price per barrel. For example, when you see a price quote for crude oil as follows: 68.335/68.365, it means that a barrel of crude oil is traded for 68.335 USD (sell) and 68.365 USD (buy). Crude oil prices are affected mostly by geopolitical issues, as well as supply and demand conditions in gasoline.

As mentioned above, commodity trading with leverage can lead to large profits, but it may also lead to substantial loss. When buying a commodity futures contract, your risk is theoretically limited to the price of the commodity dropping to zero (a very unlikely scenario). When selling, your risk is theoretically unlimited since the price of a given commodity has no absolute ceiling. In practice, however, you can limit your loss by offsetting your position when the market is moving against you or by placing a stop-loss order.

Commodities - How It Works

When trading commodities with Finotec, you do not actually purchase or own the traded good. (Imagine if you were to buy and store gold or oil!) Thanks to financial instruments and derivatives such as futures contracts or ETFs, you speculate on the price of a given commodity.

This means that you can buy or sell the commodity and take advantage of its price variation (upward and downward) without having to actually own the goods. Finotec offers several commodities to trade via futures contracts, as well as spot silver and spot gold to trade on the spot market (under the symbols XAU and XAG). The main difference between trading the spot market and trading futures market is the timeframe of the transaction. Trading commodities futures may be used either for speculation or hedging purposes. When you are speculating via commodities futures, you are predicting the future direction of a given commodity, hoping to benefit from your prediction. You open a long position (in other words, you buy) if you believe the price of the commodity will go up, and you open a short position (or sell) if you believe it will go down.

By choosing correctly – and at Finotec, we provide you with all of the resources you need to do so – you can make money regardless of the market direction. Short selling is one of the major advantages of commodity futures trading. So, whether a region’s economy is thriving or declining, commodities trading always offers a potential for profit

One of the major appeals of commodities trading with Finotec is the Leverage options that we offer. Leverage is indeed what makes commodity trading so potentially profitable in a relatively short time-frame and limited initial capital. At Finotec, when you trade commodities via futures, you get up to 20:1 leverage. This means that to open a long position on a 500-unit crude oil futures contract with a trading rate of $92, you will only have to deposit 1/20th of the full value of the contract: 92x500/20 = $2,300.

Nowadays, all sorts of raw and primary products are traded on commodity markets including agricultural products such as corn, coffee, rice and wheat, metals such as gold, silver, and iron, fuels such as crude oil and diesel, to name just a few.

Commodities Trading

Because of their very attractive potential for return, commodities are becoming increasingly popular with financial investors. This is especially true of crude oil trading and gold trading, and their respective markets which, due to the recent rise in gold and oil prices, have created profitable investment opportunities for all types of traders.

Commodities trading with Finotec also includes silver trading. The white metal also offers very interesting opportunities since its price has been highly volatile in recent years and is thus considered one of the most volatile commodities markets tradable today.

Bank of America said that they earned $2.42 billion in the second quarter and Citigroup said that they earned $3 billion, both better-than-expected results that were helped by a one-time sale of assets.

Livestock
The USDA said in today's Livestock Outlook that "lower (pork) production and lower (hog) prices are expected to persist for the balance of this year." They are expecting production to be down 3% in the third quarter from a year ago and down 2% in the fourth quarter from a year ago. October hogs are steady to lower.

U.S. Economy
The U.S. Labor Department said that jobless claims were down 47,000 last week to 522,000, the lowest since the first week of 2009. The big drop may have been distorted by unusual activity in the auto industry.

The Philadelphia Federal Reserve's regional index of manufacturing fell from -2.2 to -7.5 in July, weaker than expected. The December 2010 eurodollars closed up .075 at 97.90.

JPMorgan reported better-than-expected earnings today after yesterday's positive earnings report from Goldman Sachs. Tomorrow, investors will hear from Citigroup and Bank of America.

My economy is GREAT Now

My economy is GREAT!

Good news from a newbie...bought into a bearish hedge position on Monday 11/17 at $4.95. Sold this morning, 3+ days later at $7.31! It was paper money, but I'm thrilled to see that when one follows the rules, emotion is stripped away and the results can be great. Now I read the dour business news, and just smile. As T. Harv Eker likes to say, "My economy is GREAT!"

I am a VERY Person Now

I'm pleased to announce that I took my first trade on the SPY this week. Monday AM I bought a strangle with an 87 Put and a 90 Call. The formula gave me a target price of about $80. I thought that was too far to expect it to swing & calculated a $1 profit with a target of $82. My sell order closed today with a profit of $85 and I am a VERY happy man!

Thank you so very, very much!

Back in 2008, I was working 70-hour a week in my day job.....

Stress out and no much time being my wife and my 9 year old daughter.

At that time, I was making a 6 figure income a year with Unisys in Singapore as a Finance Director.

As with most technology company at that time, cost cutting is a very common. I still have my job but my finance team is getting smaller and smaller each year but not the work.

And then it occurred to me...

I can't possibly continue with such stressful state and I was already reaching 40.

I was tired of the long hours....

I have money but don't have the time.

Yes I also realized I only have one source of income, and if I lost my job, it was going to be very stressful for me and my family.

So I asked myself what could I do to allow me generate a second source of income within my busy schedule until such time I have more options to leave my stressful job....

You know what......

.......a friend recommended me to read a book called "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki, and Robert teaches about "how the poor and middle class work for money but the rich knows how money works for them and that's why the rich gets richer and the poor become poorer...."

I immediately recognize the power in that concept...

So I continue to do my research...

In one of Robert's work, he specifically mention that there are 3 types of investors...

Firstly, it is the losing investor, those who lost money whether stock prices go up or down.

Secondly, it is the average investor, those who only know how to make money when stock prices go up but lost money when stock prices come down.

Thirdly, it is the qualify investor, those who makes money regardless if the stock prices go up or down.....

Right then, I decided I want to be a qualify investor....

From the desk of SIR DONALD TORES S JNR.

Tuesday, 10:28 a.m.

Dear Options Investor,

Are you overwhelmed by all the technical mumbo-jumbo that most financial advisors throw at you? It's time to cut through the B.S. and find out the simple way to invest like a professional money manager — safely, securely, and for maximum profits.

Even if you've read all the books on options trading and spent months studying strategies and formulas, actually sitting down and creating your own options trading plan that works can turn out to be a miserably frustrating experience.

If you're like me, you've wasted a lot of your valuable time trying to find step-by-step options trading instructional strategies that are easy to use. It seems that everywhere you look all you find are books that say they have step-by-step instructions, but all they really are concepts and philosophy with a few pages of guidelines.

Since 2003, I've been helping options investors trade more profitably. I've taught at hundreds of seminars and I've been featured in Singapore Sunday Times, TODAY, Malaysia STAR, Shanghai Magazine, Borneo Times, Borneo Bulletin!

My trading philosophy is simple.......

Most options investor are overly eager to learn how to make money quickly but they missed out one major element......

You may make money but can you do this consistently and safely.....

Most people can't.

Most people can't keep their profits.

So what is really missing.....

95% of options investors conveniently forget this ......

They fail to master the skill of "how not to lose money"

I like to quote Warren Buffet who is one of world's successful investor...

Mr Buffet says Rule number 1 in investing is "Learn how not to lose money"

Rule number 2 in investing is "Never ever forget rule number 1"

Discover The Enormous Opportunity

Investors worldwide are discovering the enormous opportunities available through commodity options trading. However, because commodities have differing underlying characteristics from equities, commodity options behave differently as well. In this book, two of the field's most respected analysts present strategies built from the ground up for commodity options. Carley Garner and Paul Britain begin with a quick primer on how commodity options work, how they evolved, and why conventional options strategies often fail in the commodity options markets. Next, using detailed examples based on their own extensive research, they show how to leverage the unique characteristics of commodity options in your own trades. You'll walk through trades from "top to bottom,"
master both long- and short-option approaches, and learn powerful strategies usually ignored in options books. For example, the authors introduce synthetic swing trading strategies that systematically reduce volatility from the market.

This book's easy-to-use trading strategies are strategically employed by the author's clients every day: With Commodity Options, you can work to put the odds in your favor, too!

* Why commodity options are different-and what it means to you
Understand key differences in the underlying assets and the logistics of market execution

Four ways to make winning trades more likely-and losing trades less common
* When to trade short options-and how to manage the risk
Why careful option selling may improve your odds of success
