Investing and Trading: Futures Series – Epilogue

admin — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 21:56:52 +0000

My Daily Blog is at: http://investorandtrader.blogspot.com/

I concluded the Futures series last week, but I quickly discovered that there were still many questions regarding commodity futures. So I decided to throw up this ‘epiloge’ video answering the range of questions I received throughout the weekend.

In todays video, I have some concluding remarks regarding this series and the Futures Markets …

NOTE: This is not an investment or trading recommendation. The losses in trading can be very real, and depending on the investment vehicle, can exceed your initial investment. I am not a licensed trading or investment adviser, or financial planner. But I do have 12 years of experience in trading and investing in these markets. The Challenge accounts are run for the education of other traders who should make their own decisions based off their own research.

My Broker Rant

admin — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 21:42:09 +0000

Brokers need to take account for all the money that they're responsible for losing in their client's portfolios. Capital preservation is key, right? Brokers worth their weight should at least go to CASH over being long in a bear market.

tell me about BSE NSE SENSEX NIFTY NCFM BCFM SHARE MARKET STOCK MARKET.?

admin — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 19:43:22 +0000

5)If someone wants to be a broker, he/she always wants to cover all divisions of market like COMMODITY, FUTURES AND OPTIONS, MUTUAL FUNDS INTRADAY TRADING etc., In order to get /provide all the facilities to his/her customers/clients, what additional eligibilities and qualifications required. Are there some distinct and various different exams beyond NCFM n BCFM to achieve the same? If yes, what are they?
6)I heard that in order to increase LIMIT of a broker/sub-broker, he has to deposit some more .What is a limit (funds) of a broker, how is it defined
7)Why there is abrupt rise and fall in SENSEX and NIFTY between 9:55 to 10:00 AM when market opens? I see often that the fluctuation in Stock market in the morning when it opens is very high. Moreover I also tracks that every day the market opening level is far much distant from previous day close level. e.g.: Market (SENSEX) get closed at 15300 on 1st January and when it opens on 2nd Jan it shows a level of 15500 or 14850 at 9:00 AM

5) if you are a sub-broker whatever your broker give facilities that alone you can provide.
6) limit is principally decided by exchange – brokers has to meet the schedule and accordingly sub-brokers has to maintain the limit – it differs according the market trend – viz. bull and bear market. During bull phase the limit is normally less whereas during bear market the limit is higher. there is no thumb rule on this.
7) at the opening time/closing hours – mainly brokers/HNI take position or square the deals. – hence this variation. if you have technical analysis – you can encash their weakness.- normally it is not predictable.

POKER VS COMMODITY market?????

admin — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 19:56:16 +0000

1) In poker, all the money you EVER win comes from money that others loss.

In the Commodity market all the money you EVER win comes from money that others loss.

2) In Poker, you cannot control the cards that come yet people BET BEFORE the cards come(pre flop).

In the futures market, you cannot control the direction of the market, yet people BET on whether the market will rise or fall (long or short position) BEFORE it does.

3) In Poker, you know by looking at your cards, that some hands are highly likely to win, such as a pair of ACES (80%) against a random hand.

In the Futures market, there are strategies, such as OPTION WRITING, in which you are highly likely to win (80%) of the time.

4) In Poker, the house takes a cut from the players (the rake)

In the Futures market, the brokers take their (cut) commissions from the players

So from a MONETARY ONLY standpoint, tell me the difference between playing Poker and “Investing” in the Commodity market.

For the record, a busted hand is not worth zero either. If you’re a good player, you can turn busted hands into a profit by forcing others to fold.

The analogy between commodities trading and poker is a good one. The main difference in my mind is that the time horizon on a poker hand is much shorter. You will typically know the result of a poker wager within seconds. At the worst, you only have to wait a few days if your wager is an entry into a multi-day poker tournament.

Which brokerage companies are reputable for trading futures ?

admin — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 20:00:24 +0000

I am not experienced enough to understand how to trade futures so i need the help of broker.
Can i trade futures with Fidelity or do i have to find a brokerage company that specializes in commodity trading ?

We work with people just like you, and clear through the largest Futures broker in the world, MF Global. You do need a smaller broker to give you access to them, which is what we do at Common Sense Capital. My name is Brad is you would like more information.

Fidelity does not offer access to the futures markets at this time.

Can I start trading in futures, options, commodities with as little as $100?

admin — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 18:33:22 +0000

I have an avid interest in the financial markets and I want to start investing in commodities. All I need is materials to read, and brokers I can speak to, and mostly, advice from experienced traders or enthusiasts.

If you can pull up 100 bux a week that's good. But if you really can pull out 100 bux a week, you should do $400 a month, which will save you tons on commission.
