“I opened a Commodity Spread Account using the Platinum Trading Solutions program in October 2007 to diversify away from my equity-based portfolio. To date my account has increased by over 2 1/2 times during a time when both equities and commodities have suffered staggering losses. This has occurred even with a relatively conservative trading approach, which never risks more than a moderate proportion of the account value. To further diversify my risks, I recently added two ETF based trading systems, which had apparently performed well in the past. These also show signs of growing satisfactorily. One must be prepared to accept relatively large daily swings in account values. However as such systems are largely independent of gains or losses in the underlying commodities or equities, they should be able to prosper regardless of general market trends.”
