Note:
Except
for a few eMini electronically traded commodities, by
and large, commodities are primarily pit traded
and require special handling to brokers or the floor's
order
desks. This
is NOT
what we do. We execute trades with mouse clicks using rapid action leverage.
There
are 5 major boards of trade where all kinds of U.S. commodities are
traded.

While
commodities like beans, cotton, corn and wheat have increased
in value as the Chinese put new demand on the
world's markets, we sit by and watch those market
reports on the evening news. Traders are not well
suited to trade everything available to trade just
because they are traders. Traders
must specialize!
eMini
Crude Oil Future is one exception. Unlike its
rival Light Texas Crude which trades on the NYMEX, the
eMini is available on the
CME. A trending commodity, it can be traded longer
term -- days; however, it is not so good for active
intra day trading.
