Higher Probability Commodity Trading is one of the rare cases of a book that does a great job combining fundamental, seasonal, and technical analysis. Carley Garners latest book is a must own for anyone considering trading commodities or options on commodities. Russell Rhoads, CFA - Director of Education at the CBOE Options Institute
As someone who has been deeply involved in the commodities and derivatives markets, since the start of my career in 1989, I have read a lot of books on trading, a lot. I also have had the privilege of learning from some of the greatest traders in the world and seen an incredible number of changes in our industry over the years since then. Even as seasoned traders, we must always be open to learning and adapting to our ever-changing markets, commodities are always in an evolutionary stage. Ms. Garner has written a solid, educational, and entertaining primer on these markets, filled with insight, advice, and strategy. She has done so in a concise, easy to understand yet not placating voice, which is a rarity for trading books of this caliber. Whether you are just starting your journey into the world of commodities or are a professional trader with years of experience, there is something in this book for everyone. Without a doubt, Higher Probability Commodity Trading will give you the insight you need to make smarter, better-informed, and hopefully profitable trading decisions. While you may not utilize all of the information in this book immediately, you will certainly find what you need, for whatever stage youre at in your adventure into the world of Commodities Trading. I highly recommend this book for every traders reading list. Kevin S. Kerr, President, Kerr Trading International, Frequent business news contributor
Amid a dearth of excellent new literature on commodity trading, Carley Garner has authored an impressive overview of concepts and techniques traders can use to "put the odds in their favor." As someone with experience as a commodity broker, trader, and analyst, I was first struck by her honesty about not only the allure, of but also the risk in trading commodities --- and then by her realistic insights into how to manage that risk. Ms. Garner writes from the perspective less of a broker than of an intelligent, well-versed teacher who wants her students to succeed. I highly recommend Higher Probability Commodity Trading to all traders from novice to experienced. Even those who have been around a while can learn or relearn! something. Jerry Toepke, Editor, Moore Research Center, Inc.
I have been trading commodities and futures for more than 20 years, and whether you are new to trading or have been trading for a while: THIS book is for you! It's one of the most comprehensive books that I have seen on this topic. Carley covers everything you need to know: The most important indicators, Seasonalities, Commitment of Traders Report (COT), Day Trading, Position Trading and even Options Trading. My personal favorite is the chapter "Speculating in VIX Futures". And the best: Even though this book is covering all aspects of Commodities Trading, it's an easy read filled with PRACTICAL strategies, tips and tricks. In short: Get this book! Markus Heitkoetter, Futures Trading Veteran
There isnt a better book for learning how to master the art and science of trading commodities. Higher Probability Commodity Trading is a must read for the beginner or experienced trader. Carley opens the door to lesser-known tricks and strategies - this book is the only commodities book on my desk. Rob Booker, Host of The Booker Report
