David Zelinski trades futures
on a wide range of markets,
including agriculture, finance,
energy, and others. David Zelinski’s
primary focus is in agricultural
commodities, and specifically
grains and oilseeds. David Zelinski
has gained a thorough knowledge
of these markets while working
with Nesvick Trading Group as
the primary research analyst
for grain and oilseed
markets.
David Zelinski has traveled
around the country to study
crop development, as well as
to gain a knowledge of US cash
grain and oilseed markets. David
Zelinski’s fundamental
analysis also includes forecasting
US and world supply and demand
tables, monitoring of US and
world weather, studying domestic
and international freight values,
and tracking underlying cash
values associated with agricultural
futures markets.
David Zelinski also closely
monitors developments in world
currency values and political
events that can have an influence
on global trade flows. In addition
to this analysis’s influence
on his agricultural trading
strategies, David Zelinski will
also use this analysis in trading
various currency, financial,
metal, and energy contracts.
Technical/chart analysis is
used very rarely, and generally
only to help determine entrance
and exit points. Options are
frequently used to enhance potential
revenue and/or to manage risk.
David Zelinski is comfortable
in trading from both the long
and short side of all futures
markets.
THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY
PROFIT WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE
INVESTORS IN THE TRADING AS
A RESULT OF THESE TRADING METHODS
BY THE COMMODITY TRADING ADVISOR.
No participant will acquire
any rights or proprietary interest
in, or have access to any of
the information, data, or trading
methods utilized by Opus Futures.
