Commodity trade markets are continuously changing. On the one hand it makes the life of a commodity trader captivating but on the other hand very demanding and risky. Risk presents an integral part of the commodity trade decision making. As market prices are always fluctuating, the volumes, quality and quantities of the commodities available depend on the weather conditions, logistics, trade agreements and even political circumstances of the countries involved have impact.
Where in the past experienced traders probably could get away with a “No guts no Glory” approach in generating profits, in the present markets the modern day trader needs to hedge bets and secure flawless delivery to make money. Today the trader works with market strategies addressing ever changing environments and increasing levels of velocity and variances and needs to manage not only the financial but also operational risks. Split second decisions however can still make the difference.
To make deliberate decisions a trader needs not be conquered by emotions and risk aversion but needs to have a clear vision of the final goal and to be well informed about the markets, positions and potential changes and risks involved.
