A simply better approach to trading commodities

October 22, 2024

Participate, and see what's possible.

Most investors I talk to have traditional long-term portfolios. From this position, they can still see a whole other world where prices are fluctuating and commodities are moving. What I offer is a way into this world that involves only a fraction of your wealth – in other words, a simple way into a unique marketplace with unique opportunities.


An individual futures account allows you to have a hand in active of your current portfolio or compromising your investment plans. 

Safety has its place, but when you have less to lose and more to gain, active trading has a place, too, and it could be within your grasp.


"Futures trading is a completely different type of investing, because it's so dynamic and often fast-paced. In a self-directed account, the retail investor can be that much more hands-on, and at the same time will see greater benefit from having an expert as a guide."

The Benefits of a Personal Futures Trader 

Freedom and flexibility are important when you're exploring new territory, so why be bound by restrictions like withdrawal fees, capital minimums or time commitments?


The account replaces these restrictions with guidelines for your personal risk tolerance, time frames and exit strategies. By working directly with a futures trader, you can also be confident you're avoiding the pitfalls and unnecessary risks.


The Explore Futures Approach 

Working with a personal money manager means you have a methodical process backing you and specialized advice at arm's reach. The Explore Futures Approach is a combination of expert method and personal communication that keeps you informed and engaged.


  • STEP 1 One-to-One Future Discussion 

We sit down to discuss one or more opportunities, as well as what you hope to achieve by trading in the futures market. 

  • STEP 2 Personal Parameters 

We take a close look at your risk tolerance and personal goals in order to set our trading guidelines. 

  • STEP 3 Profit Calculation 

Once your risk capital is assigned, I analyze technical, fundamental and probability equations in order to formulate potential trades. 

  • STEP 4 Active Involvement 

Monitoring current market activity, I identify opportunities as they come up and engage in active trading.

  • STEP 5 Regular Notifications 

We send you email notifications to keep you up-to-date on the status of your futures trading account. 

  • STEP 6 Re-Evaluation 

After set time periods we re-evaluate your risk tolerance against current conditions and adjust if necessary.
