All different robots so I guess all crash and burn. Big names like forex envy, millionaire pips, Wallstreet all six feet under. Most of the time you got to intervene so might as well manual trade.

Futures

You can trade commodities like Crude Oil, White Sugar, Coffee with CFD or Futures. Futures is not the same as Forex spot trading.

CFD no commission but have daily finance cost. Spread is also wider.

Futures have commission. White Sugar is typically US$12 commission (varies with different brokers) per side. No swap or daily finance costs. Spread is better than CFD. Only when you rollover (monthly) then incur costs again.

Commodities are very hard to trade. Harder than indices. You must know this field very well. In the past Mr. Average didi on this forum always trade Crude Oil. His account burst many times until he gave up and trade stocks instead.

If you are making money from trading commodities I call you 'God Of Wall Street'! :D

Swap as in interest or holding cost..... What is buy little bit? Market dun stop u from buying

In theory as long as your order is not super huge lots it should be easily filled. Also some markets may be illiquid.

CFTC

CFTC: Speculative accounts decreased their net euro longs, their net yen shorts and their net sterling shorts, according to CFTC data released Friday. The CFTC's COT report, non-commercial, futures-only section, excluding options, showed speculators had a net euro long position of +62,753 contracts as per Sept. 19, vs +86,058 contract last week. This compared to the net long of +96,309 contracts seen Sept. 5, which was the largest net euro long in over six years. On May 3, 2011, speculators had a net euro long of +99,516 contracts. Betting on U.S. dollar outperformance in 2017, speculators had, up until May 9, maintained a net euro short position all year. Spec accounts had a net yen short of -51,322 contracts as per Sept. 19, vs -57,297 contracts in the prior week. This compared to the net short of -126,919 contracts, seen July 18, which was the largest net yen short since Jan. 7, 2014, when speculators had a net yen short of -128,868 contracts. The euro closed near $1.1994 and dollar-yen near Y111.59 on Sept. 19 versus levels late Friday around $1.1945 and Y112.09.

CFTC: CFTC data showed that speculative accounts had a net sterling short of -10,161 contracts as per Sept. 12, versus -46,085 contracts last week. This compared to the net short of -107,844 contracts seen March 21, which was a new record. Sterling closed at $1.3503 on Sept. 19 and held near $1.3527 late Friday. On Wednesday, cable topped out at $1.3657, which was the highest since early June 24, the day after Brexit, when the pair traded in a wide $1.3229 to $1.5018 range. Given the run-up since Tuesday, sterling shorts may have been trimmed further.
