Types of Commodities

There are two different kinds of commodities, a) soft and b) hard:

• Soft commodities
• Agricultural products such as dry fruits, vegetable oils, food grains, cotton, and more come to soft commodities. Agricultural products are produced by farmers and these instruments are as you know highly sensitive and depend on climate and weather changes.
   
• Hard commodities

Crude oil, metals, coal, steel, and so on such types of goods and items come into this category. This refers to items that come from under the land and mine.

How to trade commodities

• Choose your market first
• You need to choose the commodity first, such as Crude Oil, Gold, Natural Gas, and so on.
• Go to buy or sell
• If you already bought then wait for a long time, if you think prices will rise, or if you go for short-term then sell, if you think prices will go down.
• Decide a trade size

You need to decide on the particular amount per point movement or how many units you need to trade.

• Go to manage your risk
• Better select from a range of stop-loss orders with guaranteed stop-loss orders. Then guaranteed stop-loss orders work the same as regular stop-loss orders, excluding premium, There is a guarantee to close you out of a trade at the price you specify regardless of market volatility or gapping. Then your premium is refunded in full if the guaranteed stop loss order is not triggered.
• You should monitor your position
• Once you place your trade, you need to monitor your open positions and need to follow your real-time profit as well as loss.
• Close your position
• If you know, your trade is not closed automatically and if the order is not being triggered then go for close your trade when you have decided to close.

How You Can Invest in Commodities
