Avoiding the Pitfalls of Commodities Trading
New FT Press book by Carley Garner, A Trader's First Book on Commodities, Provides Crucial Information for Beginning Traders
New York, NY - February 9, 2010 - While Commodity trading can be very lucrative, it requires traders to have significant knowledge before they begin trading. Many fortunes were lost at the end of 2008 by beginner and veteran traders alike in this market, and it's imperative to avoid the pitfalls that so many beginners fail to miss.
In A Trader's First Book on Commodities, An Introduction To The World's Fastest Growing Market (FT Press, ISBN 13: 9780137015450, $39.99, hardcover, 256pp, Feb 2010), http://www.ATradersFirstbookonCommodities.com, Carley Garner, senior analyst at DeCarley Trading helps beginning commodities traders avoid the pitfalls by providing crucial basic information, thus averting deadly mistakes. "Anything is possible in the commodity markets, never say never, or you will eventually be proven wrong," states Garner. "Trading in the markets is an art and not a science, but knowledge about commodities, and how to prepare and use available resources is invaluable."
Drawing on her extensive experience teaching traders, Garner shows how to calculate profit, loss, and risk in commodities, and choose the best brokerage firm, service level, data sources, and market access for your needs.
In A Trader's First Book On Commodities, Traders Learn How to:
- Know the players, know the language, know the techniques--Master the basics painlessly and avoid beginner's mistakes
- Choose the right brokerages, services, trading platforms, and tools--Get what you need; don't pay for what you don't need
- Make sense of confusing commodities quotes--Know what you're buying, what it costs, the returns you're earning, and the risk you're taking
- Build a flexible trading plan that works--Predict price, manage risk, and make trades that reflect your analysis
Garner demystifies the industry's colorful language, helps you clearly understand what you're buying and selling, and walks you through the entire trading process. She concludes with a refreshingly new look at topics such as trading plans, handling margin calls, and even maintaining emotional stability as a trader.
