Commodity Price Versus Futures Price? ?

schecter85x asked:


Can someone please explain the basics behind trading a commodity like natural gas? Is it possible to trade natural gas at the current market price that you see day to day or is the only way to trade commodities through futures? and what is the correlation between the current day market value of natural gas and the futures value?

Investing in Commodities / Futures?

sharesomebody asked:


I am interested in investing in Commodities but I am not sure how or how much money an initial investment would be.
I have been trading stocks for a year now on sharebuilder but they do not have a section for Commodities / futures.

Any advise or tips would be appreciated.

Which Do You Prefer to Trade?

datonphillips asked:


I’m a 19 year old trader. Mainly I trade currencies but I sometimes swing trade stocks and binary options. I’ve dabbled a little in binary options on futures and have made some money but my main bread and butter is currencies. Which do you prefer to trade? Stocks/options, currencies, commodities (futures), bonds, e-minis, etc. I’d like only those who have traded at least two or three of these markets to answer. It makes no sense to answer if you’ve only traded stocks or futures.

*NOTE: I know I’m young and have only been trading for 2 and a half years. I know I have a lot to learn and all that. So I don’t need lectures about how hard certain markets are to trade or how commodities is a “zero-sum game” and all that blah blah. I know all this. I just want to know what you guys prefer to trade*
