Description
In Trader Vic on Commodities, Wall Street legend Victor Sperandeo explains in simple terms how these markets operate, removes some of the mystique and uncertainty involved, and offers a proven method for capitalizing on commodity market trends—without taking giant risks. Sperandeo shows that, as commodities are cyclical in nature, your goal should be to capture as much of the major market trends as possible, while balancing that goal with a minimum of risk.

Except the index provided Vic , almost all the info in this book is provided in his previous books .

Most if not all of the reviewers have missed what IMHO is the most valuable asset of the book: Victor’s model.
For those of you who have learned about break-out trading systems, Donchian-style models, and moving average cross-over models, Victor’s patented models (CTI & DTI) are a great place to start if you’re looking for insight into how to design a trading model. In the book he delineates why and how he made certain trade-offs in creating his model.
I believe this is an Intermediate-level book, however the aspiring trader can use Victor’s models as a starting point to create your own robust model to trade the commodity markets. The DTI for example, is passive Long/Short and is rebalanced monthly. As an exercise, see what you can do to trade it more actively.

This book is 75% analysis of a long/short commodities/financials index and unfortunately only 25% explanation on the workings of commodities. Was mislead by the title but some usual excellent insights from Vic outside that.

Don’t be trapped in your own intuition about commodities, read it fist and think later

I found this book to be very informative. Besides revisiting the 2-B rule, Mr. Sperandeo’s Diversified Trends Indicator looks to be a very powerful tool. I haven’t completely grasped all of the details yet, but I think after rereading it again I will be able to incorporate it into my investment strategies. If you want a simple how-to book on trading this might not be for you, but if you want to learn in detail about a way to add alpha to your investment portfolio this is a must-read.
