• Day Trade Futures: The Risk Averse Need not Apply

  • Think Outside of the Box: Increase the Odds of Success with Option Selling

A Traders First Book on Commodities

A Traders First Book on Commodities

A Trader's First Book on Commodities

 

"A Trader's First Book on Commodities" provides the type of information every trader needs to know and the type of information too many traders had to learn the hard and expensive way. Carley offers practical need-to-know, real-world trading tips that are lacking in many books on futures. It will help not only the novice trader, but seasoned veterans as well. This book will serve as a must-have reference in every traders library.

--Phil Flynn, Vice President and Senior Market analyst at PFGBest Research, and a Fox Business Network contributor


Refreshing. Its nice to see a broker who has actually been exposed to the professional side of trading and who bridges that chasm between exchange floor trading and customer service. Carley takes the time to explain verbiage, not just throw buzz words around. A good educational read in my opinion.

--Don Bright, Director, Bright Trading, LLC


This book has the perfect name, the perfect message, and the necessary information for any beginning trader. Take this book home!

--Glen Larson, President, Genesis Financial Technologies, Inc.


As a 35-year veteran of the CME/CBOT trading floor, I can tell youthose who think they can begin trading commodities without knowing the less talked about topics that Carley discusses in A Traders First Book on Commodities are sadly mistaken. Anyone who trades their own account, or would like to, should read this book.

--Danny Riley, DT Trading
