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.
