This is Mr Hamonds second book on technical trading in the commodities market. His first book “Advanced Commodity Trading Techniques” was published in 1981 and is highly regarded by countless technical commodity traders. He was generally considered one of the world’s foremost authorities on technical commodity trading.

In just a few years, futures trading has grown from a specialized area to a major sector that is attracting pension funds, hedge funds, and other capital pools. Technological advances have led to increased globalization and around-the-clock trading, which has generated huge volumes that can be traded at minimal cost.

In Timing Techniques for Commodity Futures Markets, expert stocks and futures advisor Colin Alexander explains how to make money in all market conditions. He shows you how to set up monthly and weekly charts with indicators that determine which markets may be worth trading. Then he shows daily and intraday charts tell you when to pull the trigger and get into a trade and stay until market action generates an exit signal.

With Alexander’s proven approach to evaluating markets, you’ll learn how to avoid high-risk and marginal trades without sacrificing the high-potential ones. And, you’ll see how informed applications of today’s most effective indicators-including MACD, moving averages, stochastics, and Bollinger Bands-can help identify markets with the potential for extended moves.

Through a focused examination of how money determines markets, Timing Techniques for Commodity Future Markets shows you how to:

• Define a trend
• Interpret who trades what and how much
• Set stops and get out of trades
• Fine-tune short-term trading

Along with expert advice on such fundamental practices as building charts and reading candlestick charts, Timing Techniques for Commodity Futures Markets provides an insider’s edge with rare information on the best chart patterns for all time frames, cyclical and seasonal forces and price rules for knowing when to pull the trigger on a trade. To illustrate real-time use, the Alexander includes two revealing case studies–one based on a prospective long position on gasoline and one based on a short position in copper.

“I’ve been trading stocks and commodities for more than 30 years, and I’ve read any number of how-to books, but George Kleinman’s The New Commodity Trading Guide is as clear, precise, and useful as any book I’ve come across during my career. I cannot recommend it strongly enough, if for no other reason than George finally explains ‘The Voice from the Tomb’ better than any of the old guard at the CBOT. Read it and reap.”–Dennis Gartman, editor/publisher The Gartman Letter, L.C.

“Commodities present great financial opportunity and, as every hedge fund and trader has experienced, great risk. This book shows how to use commodity trading and volatility to capture excess profits while limiting losses. These lessons are as critical for investors as they are for traders, as we are likely to be in a volatile trading environment for the foreseeable future.”–Daniel J. Dart, private investor and COO, Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, Third Party Group (retired)

“George Kleinman’s book has just the right blend of practical trading wisdom, technical charting, and fundamental analysis. It’s full of revealing discussions about seasonal trading patterns and long term trends. But most importantly it presents a balanced view that honestly reveals both the difficulties and advantages of being a private commodities trader. There’s something here for both experienced investors and beginners interested in learning from a seasoned expert.”–Jeff Augen, author of The Volatility Edge in Options Trading and Trading Options at Expiration

“I highly recommend George Kleinman’s The New Commodity Trading Guide. George’s insights, the result of 25 years of successful trading experience, are explained in a way that a new trader can grasp and, at the same time, an experienced trader can translate into his own trading. Best of all, George presents many of his own creative trading methods including his Natural Number Method, explained for the first time in this book.”–Jeff Quinto, president of Transformative Trading and futures trading coach

“Since leaving the trading floor, George is one of the few people I still talk to about the markets, and this book clearly shows why. He is able to take classic time-tested methods of technical analysis and adapt them to the conditions faced by today’s electronic traders.”–Andrew Stanton, 20-year veteran of the NY trading floors

Over the long term, commodities prices are expected to rise based on massive increases in global demand. But, as many investors have discovered the hard way, merely knowing this is not enough to make consistent profits. Fundamental changes in the commodities markets have occurred that have implications most investors do not understand. For instance, century-old “open outcry” trading floors have now been replaced with computerized trading. In The New Commodity Trading Guide, commodities expert George Kleinman reveals the new practical realities of worldwide electronic commodities trading and specific strategies for capitalizing on today’s radically different markets.

Kleinman shows how to leverage the one indicator that consistently drives commodity prices today…introduces the right ways to trade on news and profit from trends…reveals consistent seasonal price shifts that mean huge profits…shows which conventional strategies still work (and which don’t!). Finally, he introduces the Natural Number Method, a breakthrough approach that any commodities trader can use to supercharge performance!

• Capturing the 5000% return
  What you can learn from one of history’s fastest price moves
• “Breaking par”: how you can profit from market psychology
  How to make profitable trades right after market barriers are shattered
• The trend’s your friend–if you know how to use it
  Discover the best times to go with the flow
• Why markets behave differently at significant break points…
  …and how to use that knowledge to make big profits
• What hasn’t changed–and how you can profit from it
  Two classic chart patterns that continue to work!

The set of books within this bound volume is about certain mathematical and astronomical relationships between numbers and their possible application to the numbers of W D Gann. Introduction to the Series by Granville Cooley I once heard someone say that they were looking for something with which to pull the trigger in the commodities market. I’m sure a lot of traders are looking for that something with which to pull the trigger. But since over 90 percent of the traders lose in the commodity markets, those who pull the trigger either shoot themselves in the foot or in the head. One is very painful and the other is very deadly. This set of books [included within this bound volume] is not about pulling the trigger. It is not a system on how to make a million dollars in the market in the morning. It is about certain mathematical and astronomical relationships between numbers and their possible application to the number of W. D. Gann. I say possible because I do not claim to be a market guru. I know there are those who want to study Gann without studying the numbers, but since the answers to the Gann approach must be in the numerical systems and since all markets are made up of advances and declines of numbers, I can’t see how it is possible to study Gann without studying his numbers. For that matter, without studying numbers in general. It is said of Gann that he was a Christian and a Mason and it is known of his use of astrology and geometry. It is believed that his number system came from those sources. This series of books, “The Patterns of Gann,” is an exploration of the above sources (plus a few others). We will see how they apply to the Gann material. I’m not a mathematician. My field is journalism. So you will not find any x+y=a in this material. I’m sure that the average person will appreciate that approach as most persons are not mathematicians either.

Nobody understands this better than Stephen Briese, an industry-leading expert on COT data. And now, with The Commitments of Traders Bible, Briese reveals how to use the predictive power of COT data—and accurately interpret it—in order to analyze market movements and achieve investment success.

Learning the science of commodity trading is a constant search for knowledge. Never a day passes in which some new market principle is gleaned from the mass activity in the futures market. It has been my p~actice to examine each trade in detail after it has been completed to evaluate the “why” of technical market action. These notes have been assembled in this latest work. Some of these ideas are repetitious and, at points, r•m sure the market student will consider it a bit disorganized and simply too many facets to consider in arriving at a market decision. However, rather than delete, most of these notes have been included. We are attempting to impart ideas to the market student. As someone has said, “One good idea is worth millions”.
