My name in Andrew Abraham. I have been investing in commodities and managed futures since 1994. I am a commodity trading advisor/co manager of a commodity pool who adheres to the philosophy of trend following. Trend following stresses a disciplined approach to commodity/ futures trading. Successful trend following and commodity futures investing requires patience, discipline and actively managing the risk. What sets us apart from other Commodity trading advisors and commodity pools is that we are not only concerned about the return on investment but how much risk you will have to tolerate to achieve your goals.
There is only one true test for either a commodity trader...or even an investor in trend following with a commodity trading advisor. I am not trying to be funny...but this is a true test an old timer told me. Everyone thinks they accept risk...but when it comes down to truly accepting the risk do they? ( In most cases...NOT). First one should ask themselves do they really want to trade or invest in commodity trading. Truthfully commodity trading or forex trading can be the most aggravating..& hardest mentally way to make money ( if you even do make money). Now that you have answered yes... can you really afford to lose money? Will losing money change your life style? Do you realize as much as you think the trade will work...you can lose money? Continuing in this experiment....now that you realize that you can lose money and it will not change your life style... go to it.. But before you trade your favorite commodity or forex of your choice...or allocate to your favorite commodity trading advisor... stop by the bank...& take out $2,000.00 to $3,000.00 dollars in cash in $1 dollar bills...The reason is in most cases... in order to put on a trade on most commodities and risk 1% or less and be diversified you need to risk that much per trade depending on your account size... Now... you choose.. you can give away the $1 dollar bills to everyone passing you by...or you can set them ablaze...just burn them... Examine how you feel... The reason being... before you can blink...you can lose this money trading commodities or forex...as well realize probably at least on 50% of your trades you will have to do this over and over and over again... How do you feel? If this does not phase you...you are on the way to compound your way to wealth. If you are sick from this... do yourself a favor..as well as if you planned on investing with a commodity trading advisor... DO NOT START! No commodity trading advisor wants hot money... Commodity trading advisors want a client who understands their strategy...accepts how they look at risk... and knows to be patient and disciplined...In order to grind out a profit in commodity trading a long term outlook is needed...
