Millions of Dollars of Profits For Trend Followers & Commodity Traders

The statement…”Millions of dollars of profit for trend followers and commodity traders” are not a figment of my imagination. In Alpha Magazine in March of 2009 they listed the top 25 earners for 2008. The fact the top 25 are involved in futures trading and more so…trend following
Quoting Alpha Magazine.
#6 Bruce Kovner- Caxton Assoc. $640 million dollars
Putting this into context… Bruce Kovner was a former taxi driver. He is managing $4.3 billion dollars and returned 13% net to his investors… charging 30% performance fee. He started commodity trading with $3000 from his credit cards. He founded his firm with $13 million dollars in 1983
#9. David Harding – Winton Capital Mgmt. $250 million dollars
Winton is a true trend follower. Winton made a large profit in bonds. Winton is managing $13 billion dollars
#18 Kenneth Tropin Graham Capital $120 million dollars
Graham Capital is a long established trend follower in the commodities markets.He runs several funds which earned between 20-52%.
#22 Christian Baha -Superfund $85 million dollars
Christian Baha dropped out of college and was a former police officer in Vienna.Some of his funds surged by 46% on average. Christian Baha is a true commodity trader that is a trend follower.
#24 William Dunn -Dunn Capital Mgmt $80 Million dollars
Bill Dunn has been trend following in his commodity trading since 1974. He has had large returns as well as large draw downs.

What is common to all of these commodity trading success stories… It is very simple… they are trend followers… they have discipline… they have patience….they did not have exceptional intelligence.. ( they were not PHDS)…..and they have compounded their way to wealth.

The fact is trend following is doable.. people have compounded their way to wealth. The next fact it is not an easy task commodity trading to keep on putting on trades when the prior ones did not work. The next fact is most investors leave a manager at the slightest sense of a draw down.
If you really want to be successful and compound your way to wealth… Find a trend following method and stick with it… or find a commodity trading advisor who is aware of risk…and sit tight for years…and let compounding take place.

Futures and commodity trading involve substantial risk.People can and do lose money trading.

My name in Andrew Abraham. I have been investing in commodities and managed futures since 1994. I am a commodity trading advisor/co manager of a commodity pool who adheres to the philosophy of trend following. Trend following stresses a disciplined approach to commodity/ futures trading. Successful trend following and commodity futures investing requires patience, discipline and actively managing the risk. What sets us apart from other Commodity trading advisors and commodity pools is that we are not only concerned about the return on investment but how much risk you will have to tolerate to achieve your goals.
