Commodities have become an important component of many investors' portfolios and the focus of much political controversy over the past decade.

Do you want to know what the best seasonal spreads for 2021 are? "Commodity Spread Trading - The Best Seasonal Spreads for 2021" by David Carli Book printed in full colour. Seasonality for commodities is certainly an advantage which no other financial market possesses. However, we should nonetheless distinguish and separate, amongst the many seasonal windows, those that are backed by motivations that go beyond the price trend on a chart from those that are mere statistics. This is what I always attempt to do in my own trading with commodities. When I analyse and evaluate a spread, I, first of all, ask myself: why is this seasonality present every year? What is the reason behind it? It was not enough to simply be told by SeasonAlgo or Moore Research that a certain calendar spread on coffee had a bullish seasonality. I wanted to investigate and understand the reasons, if any, behind that seasonality. This led me to, over time, create a list of spreads which I consider valid, where the majority of seasonality is due to precise reasons. I have collected them in this book where you will find a list divided by commodity with all the spreads for 2021. Obviously, you do not have to consider this list as the holy grail, but rather you should always analyse each spread to 360 degrees, as I explained in my book "Commodity Spread Trading - The Correct Method of Analysis." You have to discover whether the current situation is ideal or not for seasonality to be confirmed, or conversely, to figure out that conditions are not sufficient. With "Commodity Spread Trading - The Best Seasonal Spreads for 2021" no subscription is necessary, which saves you a considerable amount of money. Use this book, with the free SpreadCharts app, and you will be fully equipped to trade commodity spreads in a professional and proficient manner. What are you waiting for?

"Harmonic Patterns Strategy" is the first volume of the series "Trading with the Trendlines." The book explains a strategy applicable in every market (forex, equities, commodity...), based on a harmonic pattern and trendline. You will see the harmonic patterns from a different perspective. The strategy, in fact, seeks to exploit the completion of a Gartley or Butterfly, trying to ride the last leg. What you are going to read in the book is, therefore, my interpretation of this type of pattern. A way to predict a future movement of a market, and that I have studied after observing many similar situations, and to have identified, under certain conditions, a subsequent trend common to most cases. Easy and clear is the identification of the target profit and stop-loss of the strategy. Not only. Depending on your account, I will also explain to you the correct position sizing, for proper money management. If you are a beginner, do not worry; the first two chapters will provide you with adequate knowledge for understanding the strategy and using it correctly. Do not be tricked by the fact that the book is free. The strategy, if you use it correctly and with money management appropriate to your account, will give you a high percentage of profitable trades. However, it is recommended to combine the strategy with the fundamental analysis and open a position only if both give the same signal.

Your goal is to have a method that gives you a complete and clear picture of the situation of a commodity or spread? That's what you will learn reading "Commodity Spread Trading - The Correct Method of Analysis." "The Correct Method of Analysis" completes the path on Commodity Spread Trading; after the theory, the practice. In this second volume, you will see explained a very valid method of analysis of a commodity or spread. You cannot reduce the trading with the commodities to a standard strategy to always follow, in automatic, because the variables that can affect, for example, the crops or livestock are many. As it is wrong, to reduce the spread trading to the seasonal trades recommended by Moore Research, SeasonAlgo or SpreadCharts, to their entry and exit dates. Trading in commodities is more complex and requires more data to get the complete picture of the situation, to have the odds on your side. In "The Correct Method of Analysis", I show you a method of analysis in four steps which is the result of over 25 years of experience (even as a fund manager) in the financial markets, especially in commodities, and which led me in 2018 to collaborate with one of the most important European investment companies. But not only. I will demonstrate to you how, to consider only the spreads recommended by Moore Research, SeasonAlgo and SpreadCharts limits the spread trading a lot and precludes many other opportunities. In the examples, I tried to convey to you all my experience, by explaining important aspects that will improve your trading with commodities. What you will learn by reading "Commodity Spread Trading - The Correct Method of Analysis": - the study of seasonality; - fundamental analysis; - term structure analysis; - contango distribution; - how to trade the anomalies; - and other important aspects through several examples. You will see how I analyse a commodity or spread before opening a trade.
