Once upon a time I was a Commodities
Broker (Soybeans, pork bellies, that sort of thing) and thereby hangs a
tale.
Did you know that retail customers who trade
commodities lose money?
A lot of money.
Does
this surprise
you? Does it surprise you that they expect their broker to be really
good at trading and to give them "the perfect trade"?
There
is a name for that skill set and it is Commodity Trading Advisor and a humble
broker for a retail firm is
not it.
But...as a broker I was
introduced to numerous CTAs and trading advisories and systems. Some
were good, and some were awful.
It
was during
this time that I first became aware of the Kenison Counting Numbers
Advisory. As I
watched the
trades unfold, I was impressed. Writing
Mr Kenison's Website
As
time went on, I actually used my
programming background to write Mr Kenison's website for him. He
welcomed my interest and devotion, and gave me personal instruction and
coaching by phone.
Finally
I
had had enough, and left that firm and formed my own brokerage firm
known as Bent Tree
Financial. What
made it unique was that it was a Kenison only firm.
I only accepted clients who would subscribe to the Kenison Advisory and
include his numbers and turning points into their trading. Publishing
the Kenison Numbers
Sadly,
illness silenced Bruce Kenison, and I could not truly say if
he
would ever fully recover. My clients who were trading his numbers
(and clients of other brokers who had been trading them) turned to me
for answers.
Having
hosted what amounts to a Fan Club for Bruce Kenison and his counting
numbers, for several years I published once again daily
commodity numbers that were based on
his methodology. What
I Needed MostIt was at this point that I found out
what I most needed. Help with Marketing. I knew nothing
about marketing a trading advisory and really had to scramble to build
my network of People
Most Inclined To Want A Trading Advisory.
