Building Commodity Futures Trading Strategies

Course Overview

Growth built on poorly controlled commodity futures trading reverses faster than it accumulated. Regulators no longer accept intent as evidence of control over this area of financial and banking practice. Participants test their assumptions about this strand of financial and banking practice against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Comparative studies of commodity futures trading across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Participants who influence this area of financial and banking practice without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Most organisations already have a policy on this strand of financial and banking practice; far fewer can show it working. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in commodity futures trading before they become incidents. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the practice within financial and banking practice and the judgement to adapt it. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this aspect of financial and banking practice that would make a visible difference.
