Zero Sum Nature of Commodity Trading & Forex Trading

PostDateIcon July 28th, 2009

There are many that do not understand that commodity trading and forex trading are a zero sum game. In other words in order for one forex or commodity trader to benefit ( make money) another trader loses money. It is very clear to me after all these years of commodity trading. Consistent winning commodity traders can only profit to the vast extent that other traders or speculators are willing to lose. Wait a minute..what does it mean “willing to lose”. Yes, as Ed Seykota has pointed out,everyone gets out of the markets what they seek. Sadly there are many commodity and forex traders that want to gamble or just play. They get excitement out of the markets…it is fun…or a challenge. These same traders have no plan. They have no risk management. They just trade because they think they know the future. They trade on their intuition. They know better than the market in which direction the market will go. Many times they refuse to take a loss.

I am sure all of us know these type of traders.

This is one of the reasons that there exists a zero sum nature in commodity trading and forex trading. These traders losses put money in the pockets of trend following commodity trading advisors & experienced forex traders that do have a plan and understand risk. Hedgers, speculators as well the “gamblers” add liquidity to the markets. This is why trend following works…and will always work over time.

So, What separates winners from losers? Successful trend following commodity trading advisors & successful forex traders have a plan. They know it will work out over time. They know any trade means NOTHING! They know their money is made over a long period of time. They know they are not playing or gambling.Successful commodity trading advisors and successful forex traders have an edge. Their edge is that they have discipline that the majority does not have. Their edge is their patience. Their edge is that they realize they do not know the future. They realize they can have multiple small losses…and eventually they will “Stumble” into a some great long term trend and they will make alot of money.
To compound your way to wealth ( if that is your goal) you must have your edge. Your edge can be as simple as allocating to successful trend following commodity trading advisors…or if you know…NOT BELIEVE you have the discipline and patience then trade for yourself and enjoy the freedoms that commodity trading and forex trading provides.

Futures and commodity trading involve substantial risk.People can and do lose money trading.

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.

Why I like Robominer
In the Forex marketplace, almost every week we see the release of some new trading system or Expert Advisor (an EA is an automated forex trading robot). Some of them work while most of them don't. However there is one EA that has been constantly making profits over the last year, generating over 86,908.00 pips in profit, and generated a 314% return in just 12 months, according to company figures.

This system that only a few seem to know about is RoboMiner. The RoboMiner EA is a long term investment system that pumps daily small profits into your account, it always closes trades with a profit. That's right, you will never have any trades close with a loss.

The RoboMiner EA uses a proven grid trading system that is so safe, it's as if your money is in you IRA account. This system generates a minimum 6-10 % return monthly, with compounding that's 100% return a year.

Let's do the maths here. If you invest $2,000 today, in 9 years from now that will turn into $1,000,000 minimum. Where else can you find such a safe investment that will give you this kind of return?

Best of all you can download a free demo of this EA, test it for as long as you want and see for yourself how it performs.

So go ahead and try the RoboMiner EA today. Click here to download a FREE copy of RoboMiner. You will never have any trades close with a loss.
What Are The Best Forex Robots?
Watch out. The only thing that some "autopilot" forex software products will do for you is... analyze the market. Sure, that's great because when a computer does all the analytical work for you, you don't have to sit in front of a screen looking at charts and candlesticks for hours on end.

But a ROBOT program goes much further.

Forex robots will actually DO THE TRADING for you, as well as the analysis work. A well-written Expert Advisor (EA) will buy at the right time and sell at the right time. It's the ultimate in hands-free currency trading... as long as it's a well-programmed forex robot.

So what are the best forex trading robots available today? I've tried several but only identified one I am happy with at this point... RoboMiner. It primarily works with the AUD/NZD currency pair and is programmed to only trade when you will make a profit. It takes profit when a trade has reached a 1.5% profit.

Why I don't like these EA's

PipsMiner. I first used the wrong settings and as a result lost money. Then I corrected my mistake and entered their recommended settings but still lost money with PipsMiner SE version. Here endeth my very brief PipsMiner user review.

Forex Megadroid. I was running the default settings in demo mode and it didnt turn a profit for me, so I got a refund from ClickBank. That's the nice thing about buying through ClickBank. Although the site promises world class support, it fell far short of that in my experience.

ForexBling. Support was inadequate. I had several questions about setup, but they were answered in just a few words when my questions really needed more info. Even the brief answers did not address my actual questions in some cases.
