Product Description
Product Description
The only complete guide to an increasingly popular approach to futures trading
This book outlines a highly successful alternative approach to trading commodity futures, specially tailored to today′s low–priced commodities markets. Unlike technical analysis, which uses statistics to inform trading decisions, scale trading is a form of fundamental analysis in which a trader slowly buys prices as they reach bottom and sells them as they climb back up. Hal Masover describes scaling techniques that work in every commodity market, including metals, energies, utilities, and agriculture. And he supplies readers with a scale trading system that generates a complete rundown of how much money will be needed, when, and where.
- Satisfies the growing demand for guides to fundamental analysis–based futures trading
Hal Masover (Fairfield, IA) is cofounder of Crown Futures, a top trading firm with offices in Fairfield, Iowa, Boulder, Colorado, and Cleveland, Ohio. He has been successfully trading futures since 1985.
From the Inside Flap
Successful commodities trading requires knowledge, skill, a healthy dose of optimism–and a logical and effective trading approach. Scale trading offers just such an approach, and this realistic and informative book tells you why.
One of the simplest and most versatile methods of trading, scale trading involves buying a commodity at progressively lower prices until it ceases to decline, then selling it at progressively higher prices as it rises. One of the greatest benefits of scale trading is that it gives small individual traders the ability to emulate a trading method used by megatraders. Originally developed as an adaptation of a gambling system, this method ultimately offers individuals an accessible yet sophisticated tool that does not require familiarity with advanced mathematical calculations or complex indicators. What is required is the knowledge of how a market behaves.
Presenting an explanation of the sound principles upon which scale trading is based–and why it lends itself particularly well to commodities–top trader Hal Masover shares his wisdom and extensive experience to answer questions, such as when to begin a program of scale–down buying, and how much capital is required. Also included are numerous examples, illustrations, charts, and tables covering everything from the fundamentals of different markets to how to construct a scale, choose a broker, and more to get you profiting from this practical methodology for long–term trading success.

Trading on common sense
7 Dec 2002
Format:Hardcover
Finally there is a well-tested method for investing in commodity futures with reduced risk, based on the logic of fundamental factors rather than the fancy footwork of technical predictions. This book is well-written and clear, and brings us the straight-forward trading system successfully developed by Robert Weist in the 1970's.
