This web site, developed by a registered commodity trading advisor, is a free educational resource that describes buying commodity options for beginners. Its organization, content and focus differ from most other option-related sites in two major respects:

Firstly, only those option-related strategies most relevant to the beginner are explored. The criteria are that the strategies must have limited risk and, for those with modest amounts of trading capital, be affordable. While some extended strategies are introduced with further details freely available by request, they are not allowed to confuse or overwhelm the main educational objective.

Secondly, the site gives considerable attention to the practical aspects of buying commodity options. So, in addition to theory, you'll find topics on deciding the proper option-buying strategy, executing the option purchase, managing the option position and even how options are treated in the account statement. The strength of this content draws from the author who has experience trading commodity options.

While this web site was designed to be accessible to all, even to those with little or no prior trading experience, that is not to say that trading commodity options is appropriate for everyone. As with any type of investment, it should be carefully considered along with your personal tolerance for risk and available risk capital. This web site will help you make an informed decision. Please see General Disclaimer under ABOUT US for more information.

If you have any questions about the material on this site, please Contact Us or, for questions directly related to trading commodity options, feel free to Ask a Broker. Also, be sure to check the RESOURCES section at the top of this page for educational books and DVD's on options trading.
