Experienced commodity broker, Carley Garner of DeCarley Trading, joined Andy Cole of Mighty Soldiers Trades to talk about the nature of commodity markets. The boom and bust nature of renewable resources and the logistics of trading futures.

 

Retail traders often blame their brokerage, market makers, platform vendors, or others for issues that arise in their trading accounts but the reality is, that each of these parties is on the side of retail traders because that is how they make a living. More specifically, futures brokers can only survive if they have clients executing orders and paying commission; their goal is to promote healthy markets and an optimal trading environment, not get in the way.
