MEGA-TRADES INDIVIDUAL COMMODITY PERFORMANCE:

Often I am asked, "Why trade all of the MEGA-TRADES commodities?  Why not trade just a couple of the most successful commodities, such as the Yen and Soybeans?"  

 Based upon an examination of longer periods of time, 20 years and longer, it seems to me that this approach has two sides to it.  On the one hand for instance, it may be true that my analysis of the past 10 years performance is more indicative of upcoming performance.  However, COPPER has - for the past 10 years - been a good but lukewarm performer, while for the past 20 years, it has performed very, very well.  So, perhaps no commodities should be excluded from trading - based, of course, on your account size being sufficient for that particular PORTFOLIO.

Since commodities move not only in the cycles that MEGA-TRADES measures, but in much longer ones as well that may determine a relative change in future profitability - commodities that performed best the past decade may not be the best in the future, but rather the best performers may be those commodities showing top performance for a longer period of time.

NOTE: All of the data below is based upon back-testing, by hand, of each commodity using continuous contracts, and as a result may not be representative of the actual performance during these time periods, with the exception of data after 5/1/07.  All of that data, as well as the monthly performance tables above represent results from the recommendations made on our nightly MEGA-TRADES REPORTS, with each trade reflecting the $75.00 per trade deduction from profit - or add-on to losses - to compensate for both commissions and slippage.  All of the figures below include that $75/trade allowance.
