My name in Andrew Abraham. I have been investing in commodities and managed futures since 1994. I adhere 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 me apart from other traders is that I am not only concerned about the return on investment but how much risk I will have to tolerate to achieve my goals.

Trend Following in the Grains
Yesterday Corn prices rallied to a fresh 23-month. Corn is joining the party of upward movement in almost all the grain complexes. Not that I know anything about the grains, I do know that price action has signaled a buy for me as a trend follower. Wheat has been moving due to the situation in Russia and the Ukraine…but corn was a different story. Informa Economics has projected that the current U.S. corn harvest will yield on average 3.9% less than the latest estimate by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. What is interesting it seems this is the same story with wheat. Increased demand and diminished supply. This is what makes a trend and us trend followers hopefully get to rid the trend.
When you trend follow or allocate to a commodity trading advisor no one rings a bell when a trend starts or stops. You must make yourself available for any and all situations while at all times you manage the risk.
When one trend follows there can be a bull market or bear market in anything. I look at over 80 liquid markets and try to buy the strongest and sell the weakest with a low risk bet.
Follow the trend …have a plan… manage the risk… have discipline and patience to let the plan work out over time
