This is the best course I've taken so far because it's so comprehensive. Having
had some exposure to trading, your
lessons made sense and give very good value for the money. Like new
formations. Blips. Like the 123
Top/Bottom rule, which makes a lot of sense. Also, believe your strategy for entering a market that breaks out of a channel - or whatever, a blip, too - is incredibly wise."

“There is a Japanese proverb, ‘a book gives knowledge, but it is experience that gives understanding’. Your real world experiences, so well presented in your commodities course, should benefit anyone who reads it. It is one of the most comprehensive courses I have ever seen, and it’s a great value for the money.”
Steve Nison CMT - Author who introduced Japanese Candlesticks to the West
Each topic was very thoroughly covered. I also feel that your choice of the technical analysis selections was right on. It's taken me YEARS, not to mention thousands of hard-earned dollars, to learn what you are offering your students. I am very pleased with this course. The foundation is in place to really bring something new to traders. Your chosen direction is right on the mark.

0"Great learning experience. It was a dynamic seminar with very knowledgeable leaders. All of you presented a comprehensive two-day "hands-on" program that was packed full of information and strategies. I came away with a better understanding of how to read charts and use them to find better trading opportunities. The extremely informative session on options gave me super risk management and money management tools that I need for successful trading. The most impressive thing about this seminar is that the instructors are experienced traders - They didn't give us "theory or sugar coated". It was straight from the shoulder, real world stuff!" -- Carole J., Oakland, CA USA
"It was very much worth every single penny that I paid for it. The instruction that I got from you on Saturday was fabulous!! I learned so much on how to "open my eyes" and start actually "seeing" more than I ever have before. You solidified for me via the exercises-how to chart more effectively, how to look for indications on charts, indicators, and formations. I really loved Saturday!! Sunday, I really got a lot of information on Options! I really very much enjoyed it! The Brokers were very professional, knowledgeable and friendly (very willing to help!!). They answered all questions, and made the coursework very interesting! I find them to be ethical and very friendly! I am very glad that I went to this seminar!! I think this weekend was a very in-expensive weekend! I am very glad that it was available to me. I would endorse this seminar to ANYONE interested!! David Duty was just AWESOME!!! David Duty is a remarkable man that is more than helpful, and is more than willing to help anyone that asks!! He is very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly! I am fortunate to be so close to David Geographically!!

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 have finally fallen into somewhat of a routine for watching all the charts. It takes me about an hour, depending on how many interruptions I have of course, but at least I’m getting through them. I know I’ve said this before, but I can still hardly believe how easy your system is!! There are some things that I’m still having problems with (figuring profits/loses) but I read more in your book again this past weekend, and more of the techniques have gotten easier to recognize. 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."

"Anyone interested on trading commodities should attend your seminar. There were no negative comments in conversations with other participants, only positive. I think you knocked yourself out to make sure that everything was perfect for us, including accommodations, meals and transportation. The seminar was great in clarifying information I'd already read but didn't fully understand, in teaching new (to me) trading techniques, in gaining insight from other students. Most of all you just have to "be there". The hands on experience is priceless. Thank you. David, and fellow students, for helping to instill the confidence to get out there and do it"

"Well I came all the way from Toronto, and it is was worth every cent. David is not only, knowledgeable, helpful, and caring ...but a heck of a nice guy. I finally understood a whole bunch of concepts that had been very blurry before. The second day on Options was also HUGELY informative. It was also very cool to meet 9 other students from around the world. I could go on and on and on about good stuff about the seminar, but it is 5:00 am and a cup of coffee is calling my name!!!!"
Keith A., Toronto, ONT Canada
I find your lessons and techniques are FANTASTIC. Before your lessons, when I looked at the charts, I saw what I was supposed to but did not quite understand what I saw. But with your lessons, the accuracy you could enter the market is amazing. Between your lessons and Gecko, it is something to watch the daily ticks on a chart stick like glue to the lines I draw in. Thank you, David!

Each topic was very thoroughly covered. I also feel that your choice on the technical analysis selections was right on. It's taken me YEARS, not to mention thousands of hard-earned dollars, to learn what you are offering your students with this manual. I am very pleased with this course. The foundation is in place to really bring something new to traders. Your chosen direction is right on the mark.

The calendars are great. Lots of info in the side by side view. By the way, working my way through the options course and I have to say the videos are an invaluable complement to the book. Really brings the examples into focus.
Kevin S. – Durahn, NC USA
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’s stuff is just that "stuff". Your course delivers the meat and potatoes of trading successfully!!....Thanks!"

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 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.

I bought this course a long time ago. It is true to its 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!!

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!

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 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.
Hi David, Paul M---------- here. I want to share a few details of my last trade with very interesting results. I was watching the wheat mkt, looked like there was some more weakness so I shorted the mkt. I sold an August option based on the September K and bought an October option based on Dec. Both options had the same strike price, the August option (the one I sold) only had 16 days left and the one I bought had over 60 days till expiration.
The mkt reversed, big time (over 20cts) right after I got in. I closed out the trade, but here's what's interesting about it. Even though the mkt reversed that much, I still showed a " profit ". Yes, the one I sold was really overpriced compared to the one I bought. So the one I sold covered all my losses on the one I bought and gave me a small profit. I would of been down over $1000 with a futures contract, the option trade only cost $125 (the spread) to place and instead of a loss, I ended with a small profit.
I want to say " Thanks " for sharing your option course. It got me to thinking " outside the box " of just buying a put or buy a call and hope for the best. The idea of buying and selling options with the same strike price on a calendar spread has become one of my favorites. The beauty of that trade is there is NO margin being held and time decay is on my side, in my favor, not the other guys. Sometimes there just isn't enough value left in the one I want to sell. I have to " pick and choose " my trades using that strategy. It fulfills the 2 golden rules of trading, "Control your risk and Preserve your trading acc't." Again, a sincere thanks.

"I would like to thank you for the great seminar of the last weekend in Denver. As you know I had to travel almost 24 hours (from Israel) to reach this seminar but it was more than worth it!!!!!! I learned a lot in both days and I am sure I will take advantage of this important information in the near future. I would also like to mention the nice and warm atmosphere between all participants that made it even better. I am already looking forward the next seminar (maybe next year....) and I will come even if it will take me 36 hours to travel."
Shlomo R. Herzila, Israel
The seminar in Denver was well worth every penny and every minute. If you are serious about learning to trade, or improving your trading, I STRONGLY suggest you attend [David's Seminars]. David is not only sincere, but knowledgeable and helpful. The Broker's did a fantastic job on options and have given me a ray of hope that there are actually decent brokers out there. The seminar drew an excellent group of people, also. I learned a good deal from fellow students as well. When's the next one?"

"Thank you so much for your class on commodities! I had no idea prior to the class of what trading futures was about; outside of hearing about hog reports. I have become hooked on the market as it is ever changing and exciting. The tools you taught me have enabled me to safely stick my feet into the water and then jump in. Having been trading real money for one month now I find a growing love of trading as well as gain more knowledge with every trade. I am looking forward to selling one of my companies and at a point in the near future and trading full-time for a living."
