Commodity Spread Trading - The Correct Method of Analysis by David Carli Pdf

Your goal is to have a method that gives you a complete and clear picture of the situation of a commodity or spread? That's what you will learn reading "Commodity Spread Trading - The Correct Method of Analysis." "The Correct Method of Analysis" completes the path on Commodity Spread Trading; after the theory, the practice. In this second volume, you will see explained a very valid method of analysis of a commodity or spread. You cannot reduce the trading with the commodities to a standard strategy to always follow, in automatic, because the variables that can affect, for example, the crops or livestock are many. As it is wrong, to reduce the spread trading to the seasonal trades recommended by Moore Research, SeasonAlgo or SpreadCharts, to their entry and exit dates. Trading in commodities is more complex and requires more data to get the complete picture of the situation, to have the odds on your side. In "The Correct Method of Analysis", I show you a method of analysis in four steps which is the result of over 25 years of experience (even as a fund manager) in the financial markets, especially in commodities, and which led me in 2018 to collaborate with one of the most important European investment companies. But not only. I will demonstrate to you how, to consider only the spreads recommended by Moore Research, SeasonAlgo and SpreadCharts limits the spread trading a lot and precludes many other opportunities. In the examples, I tried to convey to you all my experience, by explaining important aspects that will improve your trading with commodities. What you will learn by reading "Commodity Spread Trading - The Correct Method of Analysis": - the study of seasonality; - fundamental analysis; - term structure analysis; - contango distribution; - how to trade the anomalies; - and other important aspects through several examples. You will see how I analyse a commodity or spread before opening a trade.

This must-have resource includes the basics of option trading and contains references to many excellent works by other authors that explore more about the intricacies of option mechanics and trading.

The book offer a thorough understanding of how price movement, actual volatility, and implied volatility all provide a complex but workable web in which the informed trader can generate excellent returns. However, the trader must have the discipline to act within the confines of probability and the "law" of large numbers refusing to place trades based on gut feelings or hunches. Offers high-probability based trading that uses the new weekly options Contains handy interactive worksheets that allow traders to select their own risk/return with precision Includes a website with daily and weekly information on the estimate of the actual standard deviation points on the price spectrum Vertical Options Spreads offers traders a research-based guide for trading Standard & Poors 500 ETF, SPY using historic and estimated probabilities and returns that will give them an edge in the marketplace.

How to Win at Spread Betting by Alpesh B. Patel,Paresh H. Kiri Pdf

No other book has ever provided this kind of vital information - the kind that traders need to win at spread betting. The authors have taken data from the daily trades of hundreds of traders over a five-year period - tens of thousands of trades. Then they analysed it. This analysis has allowed them to answer the following questions: - Which clients win and lose? What are their characteristics? - Which markets are the easiest to make money on? - Which markets should retail investors avoid? - Do investors make more money in volatile markets or quiet markets? - Which is more profitable: to go long or to go short? - Do short-term/day traders make more money than long-term traders? - What are the most common mistakes made by losing clients? - How much do the top spread betters actually make? - Which trading systems work best? - Do technical analyst traders outperform fundamental analysis traders? - How long are the most profitable positions held? - What impact do dealing costs have on your ability to beat the market? - What rules do profitable traders use for setting trade size and stop losses? - What do winners do differently from losing spread betting traders? - What size accounts do the most profitable traders have? - How many spread betters win and how many lose? - Do losers become winners and winners become losers over time? - Do winners mimic what big winners like George Soros do? What does success look like? What puts someone in the top 10 of spread betters? What are they doing right? That is what this book teaches. The book is packed with hardcore insider data - taken from other traders and the authors' own trades - all carefully dissected to provide you with the answers you need to succeed. As insiders, the authors' aim is to show you how to beat the market. They now it can be done because they know the winners who do it. In this book, they show you how to do it.

Leveraged Trading by Robert Carver Pdf

With the right broker, and just a few hundred dollars or pounds, anyone can become a leveraged trader. The products and tools needed are accessible to all: FX, a margin account, CFDs, spread-bets and futures. But this level playing field comes with great risks. Trading with leverage is inherently dangerous. With leverage, losses and costs – the two great killers for traders – are magnified. This does not mean leverage must be avoided altogether, but it does mean that it needs to be used safely. In Leveraged Trading, Robert Carver shows you how to do exactly that, by using a trading system. A trading system can be employed to tackle those twin dangers of serious losses and high costs. The trading systems introduced in this book are simple and carefully designed to use the correct amount of leverage and trade at a suitable frequency. Robert shows how to trade a simple Starter System on its own, on a single instrument and with a single rule for opening positions. He then moves on to show how the Starter System can be adapted, as you gain experience and confidence. The system can be diversified into multiple instruments and new trading rules can be added. For those who wish to go further still, advice on making more complex improvements is included: how to develop your own trading systems, and how to combine a system with your own human judgement, using an approach Robert calls Semi-Automatic Trading. For those trading with leverage, looking for a way to take a controlled approach and manage risk, a properly designed trading system is the answer. Pick up Leveraged Trading and learn how.
