This is one of the first courses I ever read when learning to trade commodity futures. David Duty and I have been trading partners and friends ever since.

I love trading futures, it's my heart and soul, and if you want to get a fantastic understanding of how to enter and be a part of this amazing and fascinating world, then this is absolutely the best course you can get your hands on, hands down!

This is not just another "me too" book on trading, you could sift through hundreds, if not thousands of those, and never find much beyond black and white pages of long boring text. David's course is different, it's not just some book of text, it's a complete course, filled with charts, and pictures, and examples, and notes, and help along the way, and detailed explanations of difficult concepts. Trading doesn't have to be hard to understand, market's can only do three things, they can go up, they can go down, and they can go sideways. Buy low, sell high, cut your losers short, let your winner's run, that's the name of the game, right? But, if it were easy, everyone would be doing it.

David's course is properly named, Common Sense Commodities because he uses simple logic when making trades...surprisingly something other books leave out. Other authors are so eager to impress you with all their in-depth technical mumbo jumbo language and their personal knowledge of the markets, that their books end up being more of a complicated essay on how much they know, rather than a simple step by step outline on how to put pencil to paper, and how to actually make money trading. This is what you get with Common Sense Commodities, an in-depth study of commodity trading, in easy to understand language and examples, step by step processes you can follow along, and actually implement in your own trading.

If you've ever considered trading the commodities market, or if you've ever ordered one of those mail order books in the past, but weren't able to make it work for you, but you still have the desire and passion to trade, then you've found the course you need to get you back into the game. I highly recommend it, I promise you won't be disappointed. The best part, David, the author, gives you his personal phone number, you can actually call him, he loves to talk about trading, and never makes you feel like you've asked a dumb question. He's awesome! Best of trades,

"The best, no-nonsense, easy to understand, and exciting commodities trading course I have ever purchased. (And I have purchased a bunch of them!!) David removes the mystique of trading the commodities markets and brings the student to a ground zero understanding thru common sense examples, charts, and explanations. He also includes videos that not only demonstrate each principle he is teaching but provide live examples as well.

He is there for you and will answer any question you might have. He has also made personal custom webinars for me when I have had a problem understanding a particular concept. I have found him to be very generous with his time and expertise. He is down to earth and very friendly. I would highly recommend his Common Sense Commodities course to not only the beginning trader but also to the experienced trader as well. I keep his coursebook on my trading desk as a very handy reference.

I might also add that his literary style is such that it will not only be entertaining but will also keep one's attention. There will always be something new to glean from each reading. I have gone thru the course several times and each time I pick up something new. A most excellent course produced by a most excellent mentor! His companion course: Common Sense Options is most highly recommended also.

"I know I've said this before, but I can still hardly believe how easy your methods are!! There are some things that I'm still having problems with (figuring profits/loses) but I read your book again this past weekend and more of the techniques have gotten easier to recognize. T

This morning, I found 8 trades to put on (paper trading) and that amazes me. Last week I put on 18 paper trades of which 16 completed the formations and I would have been in the market/in a contract. Of those 16, NONE were losers. That just really amazes me. NONE were losers."

"I am a full time trader and in my three years of trading with a lot of hours and money invested and lost in numerous courses, nothing beats your course. The truth of the matter is it's very easy to understand and if you apply the concepts learned, there is no reason why one shouldn't have a competitive edge required to trade efficiently. In my case it is everything I've always searched for."

This is the best course on commodities that I have ever read! It is comprehensive and easy to understand. I have spent much money on other courses only to be disappointed in their inability to communicate the basic, foundational elements needed to understand how to trade commodities. David Duty's Common Sense Commodities is the best that I have ever read or studied. I highly recommend this course for those who are beginners who are wanting to learn how to trade commodities as well as those who are already traders.

David, I wish I would have known about your course before I spent thousands of dollars on seminars and other high priced tools. What your course taught me I use every day and everyone else stuff is just that "stuff". Your course delivers the meat and potatoes of trading successfully!!....Thanks!"

I lost $300 in the actual trading of July wheat for the period of 1/5 - 2/23 by just using 123 bottom and trailing stops according to the instruction by TWMPMM course. But, after reading the chapter of "Ascending & Descending Channels" of your book, I reviewed the same trade of my July wheat, and realized that I would have made more than $1,400 by implementing the analysis in your textbook.

The pamphlet I received in the mail from another commodities trader made it sound like I would be smoking cigars and wearing a Stetson in no time at all if I took his course and followed his teachings. Wrong! It was no more than a basic introduction to the market. Then I discovered "Common $ense Commodities", and really learned how to trade the market.

I purchased another course a few years ago when I attended one of David's two-day seminars in Atlanta. I had been trading for a year or so before that and was not doing very well to be honest.

After I got home from the seminar I spent the next month studying his course and listening to many hours of videos that came with it and finally realized what I was doing wrong. After that everything changed, the way i looked at charts, how I managed risk, how to exit with a profit rather than holding on and giving all my profits back.

The courses he writes are written in a way that keeps your interest like a good novel would. He is able to take what seemed to be a very complex subject and make it understandable and even fun to read.

I did have a few questions and I called him on the phone number in the course. He actually answered the phone himself! If that wasn't a shock in itself, he suggested we do a private one-on-one webinar later in the day. Of course I did the webinar with him and he probably spent an hour with me. It made me feel special to say the least. Since then I've called him a few times to ask about something and he was always willing to take time to talk with me. I'm going to sign up for his live trading room when I get back home next week. I can say without hesitation that investing in David's courses has paid me back 100 times over and I'm finally in the position to quit my job and replace my income by trading. Can't say enough good things about his courses, and seminar and how much I've learned.

This is the best course on learning about commodities and how to trade them...hands down! I started using David Duty's course back in 2003-2004 and it is the one I recommend to everyone. It is straight forward and easy to understand yet provides you a very usable and understandable approach to trading successfully. My mother, who is now in her 80s, used David's course to learn about and start trading commodities when she was in her 70s! If you seriously want to learn about and eventually trade commodities, this is where you should start! Not only do you have access to an awesome education, but you also get the ability to get input from the author himself along with a huge online community of traders who started out with David's course and who are willing to share their experience and insight!

·David, before I comment on the seminar, I wish to say that meeting you and your wife was truly a pleasure. You both are a very caring and genuine people, concerned for your students and the people you meet. I feel privileged to know you. I was very impressed by the extension of yourself to us, and making us feel at home in Denver. The seminar was fantastic. I learned a lot. The new concepts and information will FOREVER change my future trades. Learning key concepts, such as: entering and exiting the market, charting and properly reviewing my Reward/Risk level, was key. After Saturday, I had a new level of confidence in my trading ability. Finally, the limit of 10 students provided a very intimate atmosphere for us to both learn and interact. It was a great networking time to share past and future trades. I learned quite a bit from my fellow students. I truly appreciated the time I was able to spend with them. Again David, THANKS. I received good value for my time and money and would never hesitate to recommend the seminar to any other person.

·I can only ditto the glowing remarks that others who gave this course a five-star review have made. Along with other courses that David has authored, I purchased the Common Sense Commodities course when it was first released, and I was one of the first to purchase his Common Sense Options course. David doesn't just sell courses--he follows through with his time. He considers each course purchaser his student, and he personally cares about each and every one. In order to ensure that you have a complete understanding of the concepts involved in charting and trading commodities and options, David goes the second mile to give you access to all videos and notes that pertain to his courses, and he is always available to answer any questions that you may have. He is a born teacher and trainer, and I consider his courses basic to laying a solid foundation for your trading experience, be it in commodities or stocks.

“Common Sense Commodities” was the #1 Course on the market to learn to trade Commodity Futures. Now after reviewing David’s course “Common Sense Options” I find it to be equal in quality of material covered and now written on the Notion high quality Professional Desktop Platform.

I have been looking to find a good study course to learn to trade Options on Futures and Options combined with Futures contracts together. This is the only course I could find that tells me everything I needed to know.

I searched for a course like this but was surprised to find very little and nothing nearly as complete and detailed. I especially took note where David talks about his past experiences trading Options when he first learned to trade Options but it was the wrong way and lost a lot of money. Most people would have given up and never traded Options again. David never gave up his desire to trade Options. In his determination he researched, studied and read everything he could find written by true professional traders. With the truth known David was able to turn things around and begin making a profit trading Options. He has proven that anyone who studies and learns to trade Options correctly can have a satisfying and rewarding experience. It holds true that if you don’t learn how to trade Options correctly you will most likely give up quickly and be very disappointed. I did note that the author only lightly covers buying simple Call Options.

This is most likely due to the fact that he concentrates on the more profitable strategies. With nineteen chapters and all the educational videos in this course, it will take some time to digest it all. It will be worth it. Pay close attention to Time Decay and Time Value.

I took David's course a number of years ago. I previously did a different course that really pumped you up, but did not really prepare you for reality. I found David's course to be exactly as promised, a common sense approach to trading. There were not secrets, no magic way to do it, just commons sense. What I like about it is multi-faceted: He preaches caution and taking a clear headed and simple approach to your trading. He is very good at backing up what he says, providing countless emails, support, and shows you what he is doing himself in his trading. When I did the previous course I jumped straight in to trading and had some initial success. However, I then lost that success and became very jaded in the whole process. I came across Common Sense Commodities and decided to give it a go. I was very happy I did. Although I am still gun-shy from my previous experience, I have been paper trading to great success. I am about ready to dip back into that pool and use a bit more Sense the previously.

I bought this course a long time ago. It is true to it's title "Common Sense". David how a way of taking the veil of the mystery of trading. This course is tried and tested and has stood the test of time. It is good to know that there are still honest people who supply training and actually trade and use the course they are selling. There are many sharks in the water these days but David is not one of them. Well done David!!
