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.
If you are interested investing with Andrew Abraham via my managed accounts please come to Abrahamcta.com.

Past performance is not indicative of future performance A colleague of mine sent me an interesting article about David Ricardo. He was a trend follower in the 1700s. He accumulated at the time approx $62 million dollars by trend following. He had several simple rules. They are the rules that successful trend followers use today. We all know what a pep talk does to a football team down in the 4th quarter of the game. It encourages them. It motivates them to win the game in the final quarter. Trading commodities and trend following is a tough game as is football. As trend followers and commodity traders there are times( [...] If one steps back and looks at all the current realities a bearish perspective could be easily expected. Spain and Portugal were down graded once again, there are traces of a nuclear meltdown in Japan and let alone the US housing market looks like a double dip is on the way. Considering all these realities [...] Too many people who invest with Commodity trading Advisors think it is Easy!.
