Commodity Trading Futures Commentary by Brian Schad

July 29, 2010 19:51:  For the first time in a week crude oil futures gained on optimism for continued summer fuel demand and a declining dollar. In the overall scheme of things, crude oil futures are unchanged in the past two months.

To be specific, the optimism is reported to center around a decline in American first time unemployment gains, signaling job improvements may improve the fuel demand. This outlook resulted in an almost 2% gain in crude oil as the US Dollar found a 12-weel low against the Euro-currency.

Energy analyst at CitiFitures in NYC, Tim Evans, said today "The (crude) oil market is being set by the financial markets. We're back to that kind of correlation trade and not paying so much attention to niggly details like rising inventories and rising OPEC production."

Crude oil futures are down a little more than 8% year to date, and up about 3.5% for the month. We're looking for buy signals as it appears this market has put in a longer-term bottom.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Trading futures and options involve substantial risk of loss and are not suitable for everyone. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.
 One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

Let's Create Our Own Economic Stimulus Package!

If you're new to trading, consider yourself lucky.  History proves, and statistics show, that 90% of all traders actually "lose" money in the markets.  Why do they lose...?  All sorts of reasons, but the real ugly truth is this - they don't have "a plan."  If you're stuck in a rut, tired, and feeling beat up by the markets, that's all going to change once you enter my world.  Have I got a plan for you...

My name is Brian Schad, and I'm a professional futures & options trader committed to excellence in trading. 

Welcome to the Schad Commodity trading website!

I've been around the world twice, talked to everyone once.  I'm a former commercial "hard-hat" diver, a US Navy Deep-Sea Diver, a Navy SEAL, a Navy Instructor, and now...

I'm about to become your personal commodity trading futures & options drill instructor.  Ready... MARCH!

(Preparing to dive on the battleship "Iowa." Norfolk, VA)

 

I have two unique trading services to offer you for portfolio sizes ranging anywhere between $10K to $50K (and up) with my signature  agricultural / financial daily reports.  Together, you and I will tackle these markets as I plan my trades, and trade my plan just as I did with ALL of my successful frogman missions and operations the world over.  There are indeed occasional setbacks in the market place as is anything in life, but with my steadfast 13-year trading plan we will navigate through what can be treacherous territory side-by-side. 

I would like to introduce more of myself to you, but before I do, I really want you to be comfortable.  So take a moment and go grab your preferred drink, then kick your feet up on your favorite chair, and take the phone off the hook.  You're going to like what's next...

Ladies and Gentlemen, you've come to know me pretty well on this website - my solid background of "risk taking" and "decision making," and what I have done for others in this fantastic, crazy business.  Now ask yourself, why can't I be next...?  I take great pride in launching people just like you off on the right footing to be completely independent in this industry

If you're too busy to do it yourself, I've got just the right service for you - your trading account can simply "piggy-back" my daily "ag" or financial report like so many others do. That's my job - my commitment to trading excellence - and I've been doing it publicly for 13 continuous years now. 

I am providing my services to those who are willing to devote hard effort to master a craft that can make them financially independent.  If you are lazy, unwilling to put forth the effort, or just an ornery SOB, then this program is not for you! 

To reap rewards that may be in excess of what doctors, lawyers , and other professionals earn, then take the next step

Make the leap of faith, that so many others before you have, and strive toward your goal of making commodity futures & options trading profitable for you and your family.  I'll be right along side you every step of the way...  Brian

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.

COMMODITY TRADING DISCIPLINE:

Any - and all - trading involves a plan, an appropriate strategy, money management, and decisive decision making.   The markets are always trending the way he views them (sideways markets are mainly identified in hindsight) so momentum, retracements, and price structure evaluation are instrumental in all successful trading.  If a trend can be positively identified, then the optimum time to initiate a position should be either at early breakouts, or after the market has retraced within the trend.  Brian is not a bottom, or top picker either.  He states, "If a trader makes a habit of picking tops and bottoms, then that trader will be wrong and sustain more losing trades than winners simply because you can only be correct only once per year with a single top or bottom."  Decisions for trading should be made one time per day, per market, and after the buy/sell stops are in place following the opening price, the trader should walk away from the market until after the close for further evaluation for tomorrow’s session.

"With 12 years experience investing in the stock market, ...you Brian have guided and lifted me to a higher level of trading. A level that truly minimizes risk with insurance, and maximizes profits with sound money management!  My bank account balance and I sincerely thank you, Eric K."  - San Dimas, California
