The Physical Trade: A Definitive Guide To Physical Commodity Trading

Physical commodity trading is rarely explained properly.

Most books focus on futures, charts, or speculative strategies. They rarely explain how commodities are actually bought, sold, financed, moved, and risk-managed in the real world.

The Physical Trade is a practical, experience-led guide to physical commodity trading — how it works, why traders exist, and where the real risks and opportunities lie.

Written by a former professional commodities trader with over 15 years of experience in physical metals markets, this book explains physical trading as it is actually practiced day-to-day, not as it appears on a screen.

Companies can use the book as part of onboarding, graduate training, and internal education.
