Default Re: How to become a commodities trader

[ QUOTE ]
so how many people out there actually

1. Make money trading commodities on their own

2. Can attribute these gains to skill and not just luck of the draw?

[/ QUOTE ]

those who have access to great buy side research (via friendships or working w/ top firms) are definitely more likely to succeed "on their own" in addition to those with significant industry (read supply and/or demand side) experience.

joe schmoe off the street buying "how to get rich in the commodities markets for dummies" is not too likely to make it imo.
