There is a substantial risk of loss in trading futures and options. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

The information and data contained in this text was obtained from sources considered reliable. Their accuracy or completeness is not guaranteed. Information provided in this book is not to be deemed as an offer or solicitation with respect to the sale or purchase of any securities or commodities. Any decision to purchase or sell as a result of the opinions expressed in this text will be the full responsibility of the person authorizing such transaction.

Seasonal tendencies are a composite of some of the more consistent commodity futures seasonals that have occurred over the past 15 or more years. There are usually underlying, fundamental circumstances that occur annually that tend to cause the futures markets to react in a similar directional manner during a certain calendar year. While seasonal trends may potentially impact supply and demand in certain commodities, seasonal aspects of supply and demand have been factored into futures & options market pricing. Even if a seasonal tendency occurs in the future, it may not result in a profitable transaction as fees and the timing of the entry and liquidation may impact on the results.

No representation is being made that any commodity trading account has in the past, or will in the future, achieve profits using these recommendations. No representation is being made that price patterns will recur in the future. There is an unlimited amount of risk in option selling or open-ended option spreads.

This book is dedicated to loyal DeCarley Trading brokerage clients, my colleagues, and Jim Cramer. The markets are treacherous and unforgiving at times but Im fortunate to be surrounded by supportive, intelligent, and encouraging people.

As a 35-year veteran of the CME/CBOT trading floor, I can tell youthose who think they can begin trading commodities without knowing the less talked about topics that Carley discusses in A Traders First Book on Commodities are sadly mistaken. Anyone who trades their own account, or would like to, should read this book.

Danny Riley, MrTopStep.com

I own and operate one of the longest running independent brokerage firms in the industry. Take it from me, there is a lot more to futures trading than studying charts and reading the news; this book delivers what most commodity books are missing. Carley goes a long way toward shortening the learning curve for anybody that is serious at getting involved in the futures and options markets. A Traders First book on Commodities is a must-have for newbies or experienced traders looking for a fresh perspective.

Matt Zaner, Zaner Group LLC

Carley does a masterful job connecting the rich history of commodity trading with the modern day trading markets. Its not easy trading any market, but this book gives any trader a chance to advance their knowledge. While times have changed, the art of trading commodities has not; this piece is a must-have for a trader getting started.
