Commodity-markets

Mr. Dobson's book gives practical advice on how to enter commodity or stock market positions using one of the simplest and perhaps most reliable tactics: buying or selling 50 percent retracements of major moves. If you believe that the simplest solutions are often the most effective, this book will delight you. It gives a step-by-step system for using the retracement rule to make profitable trades. If your are sometimes overwhelmed by myriad technical market indicators, implementing this simple approach can help cut through the fog of conflicting technical data.

Was very pleased with the material contained in this book. Although I am a beginner in the natural gas trading field, I found Sturm's book both easy to understand yet challenging in its scope. A great deal of emphasis is placed upon various hedging techniques and many helpful diagrams are included to portray the trading flow. Overall a very unique and insightful book for beginners and for those with years of experience in trading natural gas.

This book covers oil futures, options and OTC derivatives. The similarities of derivative markets means that really any energy trading executive can learn from this book - the principles are the same regardless of the underlying commodity. Strongly recommended for people moving into trading, or with an interest in the energy derivative industry. This book is easy to understand and assumes no prior knowledge of derivatives or oil.

I normally do not like most books written on the subject of futures trading. All the way from their bombastic titles to the poorly thought out ideas which lose money consistently.This book is different. It contains a lot of new ideas and some pretty interesting information. The chapter on "split openings" is well worth the price of the book alone. It is a very good manual for short term traders, particularly day traders.

I couldn't put this book down for the first 1/3rd...and liked the 2nd third...but the last 1/3rd dragged. Lots of good rules and explanations and ideas from a practical point of view. Well worth the price, and I learned a lot.

the ideas generated from this book, helped me make money right away.Grant drilled into me the importance of what the winners do and what they do is they concentrate most of their time and energy on the opening, which most of us amateurs, the majority, tend to ignore.If you want to succeed in the world of trading, Grant points out, you must start doing what the winners do.I strongly recommend this book for the day trader and position trader.Put away all your books on indicators and buy this book.
