Kel Butcher's *Futures Made Simple* is an accessible guide for beginners in futures trading, emphasizing that success doesn't require advanced financial knowledge.
The book covers essential topics such as types of futures contracts, market analysis, and risk management strategies. Butcher, a seasoned trader with over 20 years of experience, provides straightforward examples and summaries to facilitate understanding. As for me, a trader with more than 5 years of experience, and with a lot of knowledge training from my company, this book seems like a bit too easy.
The way this book written is quite interesting, very structural and systematic, quite similar to textbook. Although not much explained about technical analysis, this book gave example about basic calculation of each contract.
This resource is ideal for novice investors looking to navigate the futures market confidently and profitably without the need for a financial advisor.
