Trade Oil in the Same Way As You Trade FOREX!
By Marek W. Stupka | September 10, 2008
Fancy the falling oil prices? I’ve got good news to share. This one is supposed to brighten your day even more! You can now capitalise on the fall (and on the future rise as well) of the crude oil futures in the same fashion as you are capitalising already on the recent EURUSD moves…
I’ve already mentioned this subject in one of my previous posts, but it seems many traders still do not realize the amazing trading potential you get once you learn to trade the FOREX market majors. The reason is simple. Since FOREX is the largest, and the most liquid, market in the world once you get familiar with trading FOREX with consistent profits you are literally able to trade almost everything.
Of course, there are technical differences to trading other instruments of the Financial Markets (with commodity futures, for instance, you would have to pay margin and brokerage fees, only trade in the time window your chosen commodity exchange is open, follow a different set of fundamentals, etc.) but the most important thing it takes to trade the markets you already know! You guessed it right … it is the technical analysis and the sophisticated trading strategies and systems we use when trading FX.

Commodities - Same Old Story!
By Marek W. Stupka | June 13, 2008
Recently, I received plenty of inquiries about trading other instruments of the Financial Markets (besides FOREX). Most of you wanted to know …
…what do I recommend trading or, rather, what instruments DO I TRADE MYSELF. In other words, you wonder about stocks, bonds, options, indexes, commodity futures, CFDs, etc..
First and foremost, let’s make one thing clear here. Nothing I trade “on the side” compares to FX when it comes to traded volumes and time I spent trading it. FOREX is, always has been, and always will be, in the center of my trading business (learn why). But there are other instruments of the Financial Markets that appeal to me too, mostly due to the simple fact THEY CAN BE TRADED USING THE VERY SAME TECHNICAL TOOLS THAT I USE FOR MY FX TRADING.
If you think I am exaggerating or I am not telling you the whole story, you’re wrong. Mister wrong! The EXACT same strategies and systems we are used to bring us the above-standard, repeatable profit levels at Gepard Investments, Inc. can be applied to other markets as well! No exceptions. No hidden catches. Just the same old, well-known story…
Of course, the fundamental background differs with each market. For this reason, it pays to spend some time observing how the new FM instrument behaves before you actually start trading it (note that we at GI respect fundamentals as generators of market moves, but use technical tools to actually open and close our positions). There are other differences to the above-named FM instruments, e.g. the markets are governed and supervised by financial institutions called exchanges (unlike FX), so you’ll have to keep the exchange trading hours, pay required margins and commisions, etc. But these are just minor technical issues that every diligent trader handles within minutes.
Of course, since there are SO MANY types of the Financial Markets, the most important question is which one(s) to trade. Now, here’s to your inquiries. I do not like to trade vast numbers of markets at once. Hence, I usually pick 1-3 markets I follow besides my core FX trading activities. And they are - THE COMMODITY FUTURES (gold, oil, wheat, soybeans, etc.). I only trade these since, according to my research, they have the lowest risk-to-win ratio out of the FM instrument portfolio. If you want to know why, drop me an email and we will discuss this personally. Oh, and one more thing - many of you have asked what platform to use for trading other FM instruments, and if there’s one (preferably free of charge) that allows you to trade everything. Well, the only platform I know of that is of high-quality, has advanced charting, and allows you to trade almost everything, is the Danish Saxo Trader. Warmly recommend it to every trader out there…
