explains how to understand statements from commodity futures brokers.

Hi thanks for visiting us. Just to clarify. Do you need a glossary of
terms about commodity futures? I think it would be helpful to provide
us of the words you don't understand in the statement. Just let me
know. :)

buscar,

Do you have a specific statement from a commodity futures broker which
you are trying to interpret? The broker's name and/or website might
prove helpful to researchers.

Yes, it's the form of the statement I don't understand. It's like
looking at your bank checking statement and not being able to figure
out which checks were
outstanding and how much cash there is in the account.

All commodity broker statements are done the same confusing way. Two I
have experience with are Rosenthal Collins Group, L.L.C. and Man
Financial Inc.
I have been to their web sites without success.

buscar,

It's a little difficult to help you understand your commodity futures
trading statement without being able to see the actual statement.
However, I have found a couple of resources on trading sites that may
help you decipher your statement.

I found a great instruction page on interpreting a sample commodity
futures trading statement at World Link Futures' beginner trading
site:
http://www.worldlinkfutures.com/ptacteg.htm

Another such example is at The Weekly Analyst's website:
