1.) First, a Few Basics
Commodities refer to the actual physical products that can be traded on a qualified exchange within the United States, just like with stocks.One of the biggest benefits of trading commodities is that there are only about a dozen markets worth looking into based on volume and liquidity.

2.) Enough Talk. Let’s Get Started
Other than buying the actual product like orange juice or coffee at your local grocery store, you can speculate on the future movement of physical commodities by buying or selling futures and futures options contracts.Don’t let these terms scare you off, though. Commodity trading is actually just as easy as trading normal stocks or options.

2.) Enough Talk. Let’s Get Started
Here are a few more reasons to consider using options contracts over just futures contracts:Options keep your risk limited at all times. But the gains can be unlimited.With options, you don’t always need to predict the future direction of a commodity to see profits. Seriously. (I’ll go into more specifics about this in a future article.)Options come in varying degrees of short-dated or long-dated expiration periods. So you can give yourself as much time as you need for your prediction to pay off.
