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.

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 ones 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.

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.
