Disciplining plans key to successful commodity traders
The text outlines how traders must decide capital to allocate and whether to limit or broaden their market scope. It notes that disciplined planning and selective exposure to active markets reduce the risks of overtrading and insufficient knowledge, framing early strategic choices for speculators.
Trading risk and profit outlook in commodity margins
The article explains how concentration affects risk taking and the profit loss balance in trading. It discusses the ratio of potential profit to potential loss, with some traders requiring at least twice the potential loss as reward, and others varying the ratio by probability of success. An example shows low margin futures like Park Bellies moving 150 points per contract at $3.00 per point, with a $600 margin, yielding about 75 percent daily return or loss on margin, and invites readers to contact Dr. Charles Harlow for questions.
