Universal Commodities Trading Blueprint Builder

Universal template Pro

Builds a complete commodities plan (energy/metals/agri) tailored to your instruments, constraints, and risk limits.

ID 141

Act as a professional commodities trading mentor. I trade commodities via futures/options/ETFs/CFDs on platform in United States. My account size is 4 hours, experience is beginner/intermediate, and my style is day/swing/position. Build my commodities blueprint: instrument choice (spot proxy vs futures), contract/rollover awareness, cost drivers (spread/fees/slippage), curve/term-structure rules, volatility/event risk filters, entry/exit framework, position sizing and max loss limits, correlation/exposure controls, and a weekly research + review routine. Ask clarifying questions if needed.

Contango/Backwardation & Roll Yield Decision Guide

Medium

Prevents the classic “I bought oil/gas ETF and it bled forever” mistake by forcing curve awareness into every trade.

ID 142

Act as a commodities term-structure coach. I want exposure to commodity using futures/ETFs/ETNs/CFDs. Explain how contango/backwardation and rolling impact returns for my chosen vehicle. Then build a decision tree: If my goal is ETF portfolio basics, which vehicle fits best? What curve conditions make the trade attractive vs unattractive? What rules should I use for entry timing, holding duration, and when to avoid the trade entirely?

Contract Specs & Rollover Survival Kit

Medium

Turns confusing futures details (tick value, multiplier, expiration, trading hours) into a simple, reusable checklist.

ID 143

Act as a futures operations mentor. I want to trade crypto market. Create a “survival kit” that includes: contract size, tick size/value, margin types, trading hours, typical liquidity windows, expiration timeline, rollover rules, and a pre-trade checklist that prevents me from trading the wrong month or misunderstanding exposure. Include a one-page “what can go wrong” section (gap risk, limit moves, illiquid hours).

Commodity Event-Risk Planner (EIA, OPEC, Weather, Crop Reports)

Beginner

Builds rules for commodities’ biggest trap: sudden volatility from scheduled and unscheduled events.

ID 144

Act as a commodity event-risk strategist. I trade energy/metals/agri using instrument. My holding time is intraday/swing. Build an event-risk plan: which event categories matter most for my commodity (inventory reports, policy meetings, weather, crop estimates, geopolitics), how spreads/liquidity typically behave around events, rules for sizing, stop placement, and whether to hold through events, a “no-trade window” rule, and a post-event re-entry framework.

COT (Commitments of Traders) Positioning Interpreter

Medium

Converts COT positioning into a practical framework without turning it into astrology.

ID 145

Act as a commodities positioning analyst. I’m watching commodity and I have access to COT data (or I will paste summary values). Explain how to interpret hedgers vs speculators positioning for my timeframe swing/position. Provide a structured approach: what changes matter, what doesn’t, how to combine COT with trend/term-structure, and 3 common misreads traders make. End with a “COT-based bias checklist.”

Spread Trading & Curve Trades Primer (Calendar/Inter-Commodity)

Medium

Helps traders build lower-volatility commodity trades using spreads, not just outright direction.

ID 146

Act as a commodity spread trader and risk manager. I’m interested in calendar spreads / crack spreads / crush spreads / inter-commodity spreads. Teach me the practical basics: what moves these spreads, how margin and risk differ from outrights, how to choose a spread aligned with my thesis, and how to define entry/exit/stop rules. Provide 2 example spread trade templates I can adapt.

Short, Sharp: “Is This Commodity Trade Even Sensible?”

Medium

A fast sanity check that kills bad trades before they hatch.

ID 147

Sanity-check my commodity idea in 8 bullets: commodity, vehicle, 15-minute data, trend-following strategy, entry, stop, target, event risk. Tell me: 3 strongest reasons it might work, 3 biggest reasons it might fail, and 2 conditions that make it a no-trade.

Short, Sharp: Commodity Leverage & Margin Reality Check

Medium

Forces you to confront liquidation/variation margin risk before clicking buy.

ID 148

Given $10,000, instrument, position size, and stop distance, tell me if my leverage is sane. Output: max loss at stop, “pain move” scenario (2x volatility), required margin buffer, and the one change that most improves survival (smaller size/wider stop/different vehicle).

Short, Sharp: “Curve + Catalyst” Trade Template

Medium

A compact template many commodity traders obsess over: curve state plus catalyst.

ID 149

Create a trade plan using only these headings: Curve State, Catalyst, Vehicle Choice, Entry Trigger, Invalidation, Risk Size, Hold Rules, Exit Rules. My inputs: commodity, curve: contango/backwardation/flat, catalyst, vehicle, 15-minute data.

Commodity Portfolio Exposure Map (Hidden Correlations & “Same Trade” Risk)

Pro

Prevents accidental concentration (e.g., long oil + long CAD + long energy equities = one bet).

ID 150

Act as a commodity portfolio exposure analyst. Here are my positions/watchlist: list vehicles + direction + size. Map my exposures by: commodity type (energy/metals/agri), USD sensitivity, macro drivers (growth/inflation/risk-off), and correlation clusters. Identify “same trade in disguise,” propose diversification or hedges, and set max exposure rules per cluster.
