Commodity Trading
Commodities are raw materials ranging from oil, gold, and copper, to agricultural products including wheat, soybeans, and coffee. They are often considered an alternative investment and can be traded on dedicated exchanges through futures contracts or through investment vehicles like mutual funds and ETFs.
Position Trading
A position trader buys an investment for the long term in the expectation that it will appreciate in value. This type of trader is less concerned with short-term fluctuations in price and the news of the day unless they alter the trader’s long term view of the position.
Circuit Breaker
An emergency-use regulatory measure that temporarily halts trading on an exchange.
Temporarily measures that halt trading to curb panic-selling on stock exchanges.
Circuit breakers attempt to curb in panic-selling and can also be triggered on the way up with manic-buying.

Basis Trading
In the context of futures trading, the term basis trading refers generally to those trading strategies built around the difference between the spot price of a commodity and the price of a futures contract for that same commodity. This difference, in futures trading, is referred to as the basis. If a trader expects this difference to grow, the trade they will initiate would be termed “long the basis”, and conversely, a trader enters “short the basis” when they speculate that the difference will decrease.
