Why CommodityTrends
We love the Commodity Markets, we love Trading, and we love Markets that Trend.
CommodityTrends.com brings all our passions together through our proprietary trend following algorithm, the CommodityTrends Trading Plan 2.0.
I’m Jim Prince, a 30-year market veteran and teacher of trading strategies to tens of thousands of aspiring traders over the years. Back in May of 2021 a trading colleague and I were discussing the state of the economy. It was clear the prices of everyday goods were continuing to climb, and we could see the effect it was having on the markets we followed. We knew this was early-stage inflation, and it was only going to get worse. But as traders we realized there was a way to take advantage of this unique opportunity.So I came up with a trading plan. I tested it, I tweaked it, and when I was confident it was ready, I traded it! And now the results are in - results so good, I knew I had to share it with you.

Jim’s Experience
Jim started trading as a young man in the 1980’s. He and his father traded together after having found a mentor to train them. After several years Jim began working for a company that specialized in financial education where he started training others to trade. Eventually he became the head of the program where he developed new trading methods and training programs and oversaw a team of trainers.
As the Internet moved commodity trading and education online, Jim worked with website developers to create new indicators and algorithms along with online tools that assist traders in analyzing markets and making trading decisions.
What Sets Jim Apart From Other Educators and Traders?
Jim truly cares about his students and always goes the extra mile to teach them and keep them on top of market activity. And he doesn’t just teach how to trade; he teaches the psychology of trading so students can see and overcome their self-defeating attitudes and behavior and become more effective at trading.
As far as keeping his students “in the know,” Jim is in constant contact, providing daily videos on commodities and other markets, weekly and monthly newsletters, and webinars.
As a trader Jim is not ego-driven. He is known for being an unemotional trader and serves as a great model to his students. Jim is level-headed and makes decisions based on what the market is actually doing rather than trying to impose any pre-existing theories.
Finally, Jim provides a comfortable educational environment. He is open, down-to-earth, relatable, patient, and generous in answering questions. He approaches the markets with good humor, a non-stressful approach, and reasonable expectations for market success. He makes it easy to learn, making it possible for his students to trade using the methods they prefer and keeping to their level of risk tolerance.
What Makes Jim’s CommodityTrends Trading Plan 2.0 So Unique?
The CommodityTrends Trading Plan 2.0 is a trading program that is specifically weighted to look for the big market movers. It is a trading system based on a proprietary mathematical formula that generates trading signals for the commodity markets Jim is following. A trading system such as this removes human emotions from trading, which in turn can remove some of the pressures associated with trading.
Towards the end of each trading day, Jim reviews his markets, checks the system, and creates a simple report. Most days there will be no changes. However, should Jim receive a signal change, he adapts as needed and informs his subscribers so they can decide what to do next.
Jim’s current trading record is always available for subscribers to see.
