There is a lot of information
for the beginning commodity
trader to learn.

Traded commodities include
agricultural products, energy
products, precious and
industrial metals, and the
newly created environmental
commodities.

A good way to approach
commodity trading is to decide
which traded commodities you
want to deal in.

Then it is wise to do
Commodity and Futures
Training.

A commodity trading course
will familiarize you with the
commodities markets,
commodity trading charts, and
the application of Candlestick
chart analysis to modern
traded commodities.

Trading commodities in
agriculture includes both crops
and livestock.

Crop commodities are also
referred to as grains, food,
and fiber.

Commonly traded
commodities are cocoa, coffee,
corn, cotton, oats, rapeseed,
rice, soybeans, soybean oil
and meal, sugar, and wheat.

As an example, corn is traded
in 5,000 bushel lots and
soybean oil in lots of 60,000
pounds.

Livestock and meat
commodities include feeder
cattle and live cattle as well as
frozen pork bellies and lean
hogs.

Lean hogs trade in 20 ton lots.
Agricultural commodities are
subject to fundamental
analysis as well as technical
analysis.

Technical analysis charts for
trading agricultural
commodities go all the way
back to rice trading in Japan in
the days of the Samurai.

Although the modern
commodity investing includes
much more than rice

The centuries old principles of
Candlestick chart formations
and Candle chart patterns
apply as well to corn futures
and pork bellies today as they
have to rice trading for
centuries.

Energy commodities include
crude oil, gasoline, ethanol,
heating oil, natural gas, and
propane.

Training will help you
understand the principles of
trading commodities online
with energy commodities.

It will show you how
commodity trading info
optimized with Candlestick
signals can optimize your
profits in trading.

Training will also help you pick
effective commodity trading
software and understand its
use.

Precious metals traded as
commodities include gold,
silver, platinum, and
palladium. These are traded as
bullion.

Although each of these metals
has industrial use, only silver
has substantial use in
industry.

Commodity investing in
precious metals has become
widely popular in recent years
as the economy has faltered.

With very heavy trading it is
typical that technical analysis
with Candlesticks will outweigh
fundamental factors in the
price swings of precious
metals.

With trading as heavy as it
currently is the trader will be
wise to stick very close to
Candlestick basics in trading
commodities such as gold.

Industrial metals as traded
commodities include
aluminum, copper, nickel,
lead, recycled steel, tin, and
zinc.

Commodity prices in industrial
metals closely follow the
economy.

These metals trade in metric
tons.

Environmental commodities
are a totally different breed.

Carbon offsets, energy
efficiency credits, known as
white certificates and
renewable energy certificates
are new creations meant to
help protect the environment.

As an example of
environmental commodities,
carbon offsets trade in metric
tons of carbon dioxide
equivalent from a mixture of
green house gases.

One offset credit is intended to
represent the reduction of one
metric ton of carbon dioxide
emission.

Companies that successfully
reduce their emissions gain
these credits and can sell
them to companies that have
yet to reduce emissions.

Although industrial metals and
greenhouse gas emissions are
very different they both can
be traded effectively using
Candlestick trading tactics.

To learn more about traded
commodities and about how to
trade them seriously consider
Training.
