PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.
ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS INVOLVE SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS AND ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.

Thank you for visiting.
Greetings, this is Brian Schad. I have been active with the commodity futures markets consistently for over 30 years. I have offered my trading strategies to the public since the summer of 1996. Maybe I can be of assistance to you. However, before you even consider the counsel of Schad Commodity, you must know all commodity futures and options trading involves substantial risk of loss. It is not suitable for everyone. You must only trade with “risk capital” and do so responsibly. If you require further assistance, please contact me personally. All the best for future success. ~ Brian Schad, President · Schad Commodity Futures & Options Trading Corporation
The Schad Commodity Futures & Options Trading Corporation website is Brian Schad’s official and original Internet presence for commodity futures & crypto trading. Here you will learn all about one of the commodity futures & options trading industry’s longest running newsletters (currently inactive) by Brian Schad, and the advanced futures trading home-study workshop still available for you to become completely acquainted with the Schad Commodity-style trading techniques. You are visiting one of the very first commodity trading websites among his peers in the futures & options trading world that remains on-line to this day.
Brian is primarily an option writer, but as you will see is still involved with directional trading. The option writing trades are “not” a part of this website (the disclaimers alone would take up too much space), only the directional crypto, futures & index trades continue to be featured as it has been for decades. Follow Schad Commodity’s current agricultural and financial futures & options (plus index) trading position’s results right here daily (currently inactive), and also find Schad Commodity as the 3rd Place finisher of 25 international participants in the world renown 2014 Altegris International Commodity Trading Championship (click here). The Schad Commodity blog is also recognized, and has been selected by “Feedspot,” as one of the Top 20 Futures Trading Blogs on the web. No other commodity futures trading website and social media will keep you better informed about the markets we consume and use in our everyday lives. Let Schad Commodity keep you up to date.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT (28AUG24): In lieu of the volatile economic crisis affecting our U.S. banks, the federal reserve note’s rejection by certain countries, the rise of the BRICS nations, the change in the former 50-year standing “petro-dollar” status, the looming threats of cyber-attacks on our country’s infrastructure, and all out world war, I have decided to back away from futures trading after over 30 years in the trenches. Am I out of the game for good? Short answer — no. I will, however, be on the sidelines of futures and instead be “invested” in Bitcoin, gold, and silver until our nation’s currency becomes stable (meaning, backed by gold, silver, and/or Bitcoin). Consider protecting yourself and your family in these uncertain times.
More information about Schad Commodity’s consultation, and one-on-one teaching will be found by exploring this website. Thank you for your consideration to diversify your investment portfolio with agricultural commodity futures and teaming-up with Schad Commodity as your trading partner.
Commodity Futures Trading Commentary by Brian Schad
Schad Commodity Monthly Report: An Insider’s View of the Next Big Market Move · August 15th, 2025
Once each week, usually on Friday evenings, we’ll update our personal weekly commodity trading charts and review them for changes in “net long” or, “net short” holdings between the big commercial commodity traders, large speculators, and the usually uninformed public. This is our professional analysis of “the bigger picture” and current dynamics for each market which provide a spyglass view of the BIG commercial traders and what they are currently doing to influence the crypto and futures markets.
As you may already know, insider trading with stocks on Wall Street is very illegal. However, in the commodity & crypto trading industry, large/commercial traders MUST report their positions EACH WEEK to the CFTC regulatory body, hence, we monitor them on a weekly basis. Although the crypto & futures markets themselves will ultimately provide the most accurate illustration of trend, these (weekly) charts we’ve identified, serve to forewarn us of the next possible bigger move.
Here are the commodity & crypto markets which illustrate their forthcoming changing picture…the ones to be watching more closely to consider taking a position in next week:
UP Trending Futures Markets: e-Mini S&P 500 Index*, Ethereum, Feeder Cattle, e-Mini NASDAQ 100 Index, Silver*, and Euro-FX
DOWN Trending Futures Markets: Crude Oil NY, Hard-Red Winter Wheat*, Corn/Maize, and Soybeans
*expect extension of current trend
ALL COMMENTARY IS CONSIDERED OPINION & VIEWS FROM THE AUTHOR AND NOT A SOLICITATION OF ANY SECURITIES. THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING COMMODITY INTERESTS CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL. YOU SHOULD THEREFORE CONSIDER WHETHER SUCH TRADING IS SUITABLE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.
