She begins by making a descripction of the rally in 2007 and 2008 and the crash of the commodities market in 2008-2009, that caused hugh loses to many traders.The book contains not only an explanation of the markets and how they work, but also some very interesting chapters on how to select a broker if you want to risk your money in these markets. Then she explains the different type of orders that operate in relation to the futures markets. Finally she does an overview of the different commodity markets. One of the most relevant aspects of this book is that Ms. Garner has been a broker for many years and knows first hand the operation and risks inherent to these markets.She explores also the emotional aspects of commodities trading, and how many people excel in simulated trading using sensible strategies, but when real money is involved they tend to 'follow the pack'. A very interesting insight into waht is required to become a mature trader.Something that you will not find in this book are the kind of 'magic' - 'win always' recipes. If those were true, all traders would become rich in a couple of years.I think this book is a must to anyone who wants to risk his or her savings in the futures and options markets. The most important phrase in the book is "The typical trader is a net loser". This book convinced me that futures and options trading in the commodities markets is not for me. That is already a plus and a good reason to purchase this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good intro to commodities, but not enough to trade. *by S***G on Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2012* So this book gets you quickly (and cheaply on kindle) up to speed on the nature of the commodities markets. The book is fairly short and I believe I got through it in about a week. I'm using this as a primer on commodities and from here hope to delve further into specific futures and options markets. If you're looking for a book to do the same, this will fit the bill. My only complaint is that in some areas the math gets a little redundant so don't be afraid to skim as you see appropriate. ### ⭐⭐⭐ It's a good "first book" for those interested in commodities *by A***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2016* It's a good "first book" for those interested in commodities, but it's about a mile-wide in breadth and maybe an inch deep, so even complex topics, instead of being clearly explained and saying "do more research to understand X better" you instead just get the basic, dumbed down explanation, which misleads those newer to commodity markets into thinking they grasp at least 50% of the topic. In reality, it teaches 100% of the basic concept, and ignores 95% of the complex parts. All commodities aren't thought of, analyzed, traded, stored or leveraged the same - and the book doesn't really go into depth on this, which is pretty critical. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/7757025-a-traders-first-book-on-commodities-an-introduction-to-worlds](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/7757025-a-traders-first-book-on-commodities-an-introduction-to-worlds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
