2. Trading in commodities is even more exciting and profitable compared to trading in stocks and securities. However, not many are familiar with the process. Commodities account for a large part of trading worldwide but online trading is a bit different than real life purchase and sale of commodities. How does one get started in online trading in commodities is a question that beginners often ask. The answers are here.

3. Main Commodities One can engage in commodity trading by focusing on the main segments. Commodity markets are categorized into agricultural, metal, environmental and energy segments with a range of sub-categories. One can just as well trade in currencies and crypto currencies by opening an account with a suitable broker.

4. Choose a Broker Picking the right broker is an important process. One must choose a broker who offers the right platform for trades as well as support and guidance. Commission rate is another important factor to consider when choosing a commodities broker.

5. Opening a Trading Account It is apparently easy to open a trading account if one wishes to trade in commodities. However, one must furnish financial information and the broker exercises his discretion after evaluation as to whether an applicant should be permitted to trade or not based on financial credentials. Leveraging plays a major part in online commodities trade and, for a small margin, one can trade in large lots but the risk of loss is always present, which is why financial strength is a consideration.

6. Learning How Markets Work There may be similarities between commodities and securities but there is divergence too. One must learn how markets move and what the external influencing factors are before one can trade with confidence otherwise the result is almost always a loss. One can learn from other traders and develop a trading plan based on fundamental analysis and charting. Until one gains a sound knowledge about how these markets work, it is advisable to engage only in small trades and analyze one’s decisions thoroughly. It takes a year or more for a trader to develop confidence and until that confidence is gained, it is advisable to engage only in small trades and book small margins of profit.

7. Technical Terms It is worthwhile investing time and labour in learning about technical aspects such as contract terms fo instance. One must know about over the counter and financial exchange methods of trading in forward and futures markets. One can invest in physical delivery but most who trade in commodities online do so only with speculative motives. One can engage in futures, a derivative form, in which traders can trade but are not obligated to take delivery. If returns are high so are chances of losses. One can engage in futures and take a call or put position. One can engage in commodity ETFs, a form of financial instruments for futures. Then one can follow the commodity shares markets, which is investing in commodity producers. It is a good idea to follow only one avenue and become expert.
