Description of Value Investing in Commodity Futures

Buy Low, Sell High

This one–of–a–kind book outlines a highly successful alternative approach to trading commodity futures that is specifically tailored to today′s low–priced commodities markets. Unlike technical analysis, which uses statistics to derive trading strategies, scale trading utilizes fundamental analysis to make a plan to slowly buy as prices reach bottom and sell as they climb back up. Here, top trader and author Hal Masover describes scaling techniques that work in every commodity market and supplies you with a scale trading system that generates a complete rundown of how much money will be needed, when, and where. Learn when to begin a scale–down buying program, how to choose a broker, and the facts and benefits of scale trading.
∗ Scaling works in every kind of commodity, including metals, energies, and agricultural commodities
∗ Scale trading is a fairly conservative methodology that uses big trader strategies but on a much smaller scale
∗ Value Investing in Commodity Futures includes a disk with the scale program–

...all you have to do is input the data and the program will show how much money is needed, when, and where

Take advantage of the only complete guide to an increasingly popular approach to futures trading. In these times of amazingly low commodity prices, the method presented in this comprehensive and invaluable book works best.
