Grain prices have collapsed again today, selling off furiously almost from the open. This intra-day chart for the Deustche Bank Optimum Yield Agriculture Excess Return Index shows how powerful the trend is.
I am a student of economics, financial analyst, and futures trader, specializing in agricultural commodities, and especially grains, but I also trade gold and other metals, soft commodities, treasuries, and stock index futures.
I began trading spot Forex currency crosses in May 2003, and in August 2006, I met a futures trader who has been making a living in futures for more than 20 years, and he became my futures mentor. I've never looked back, and I am now head trader for Global Capital Reserves, my own firm.
I also have both Bachelors and Master of Science degrees in business.
I really enjoy trading futures, and hope to share my successes, a few failures, and methodologies.
