Traders use automated rules to execute entries and exits across gold, oil, agricultural futures and spot ETFs. Set conditions that trigger when crude oil drops 3% in 2 hours or when wheat futures break above 20-day moving averages. The best commodity software connects to Alpaca, WeBull, E*TRADE and Schwab for seamless execution while you maintain full custody of funds.
The system recognizes seasonal patterns in agricultural markets and energy volatility cycles. Your automation adjusts position sizing during harvest seasons or increases monitoring frequency around OPEC announcements. Templates handle contango and backwardation scenarios automatically.
Rules combine daily trend signals with hourly momentum indicators across commodity sectors. You might set conditions that buy gold ETFs when weekly RSI drops below 30 while 4-hour MACD stays positive. The engine processes multiple timeframes simultaneously for comprehensive market coverage.
Commodity sector rotation built in
Templates rotate between energy, metals, and agricultural commodities based on relative strength indicators and seasonal factors. When energy commodities show weakness, rules can shift allocation toward precious metals or soft commodities automatically.
Risk management for volatile markets
Commodity markets experience extreme volatility during supply disruptions or geopolitical events. The platform includes circuit breakers that pause trading when VIX exceeds predetermined levels or when individual commodity ETFs gap beyond normal ranges.

Sector Momentum Switcher
Rotates between commodity sectors based on relative strength and momentum indicators. Shifts from energy to metals to agriculture based on performance. Dynamic commodity sector allocation.
The system handles futures contract rollovers automatically before expiration dates. Rules monitor open interest and volume to determine optimal rollover timing. You avoid delivery obligations while maintaining continuous exposure to commodity price movements. Rollover costs are calculated and displayed in real-time.
Built-in correlation analysis tracks relationships between different commodity sectors and broader markets. When crude oil and natural gas correlations break down, rules can adjust position sizing accordingly. The platform alerts you to unusual correlation shifts that might signal market regime changes.
Templates incorporate well-known seasonal patterns in commodity markets like the summer driving season for gasoline or harvest cycles for agricultural products. Rules can increase position sizes during historically strong periods while reducing exposure during weak seasonal windows.
The automation considers inventory reports and supply data releases when executing commodity trades. Rules can pause trading around major announcements like EIA petroleum reports or USDA crop estimates. This prevents whipsaw movements during high-impact data releases.

Advanced rules can execute spread trades between related commodities like crude oil versus heating oil or corn versus wheat. The platform calculates spread ratios and triggers entries when relationships deviate from historical norms. Spread strategies often provide more stable returns than outright commodity positions.
Rules consider broader economic indicators that affect commodity prices like dollar strength, interest rates and inflation expectations. When the dollar index rises sharply, gold rules might reduce position sizes automatically. This macro awareness helps commodity strategies adapt to changing market conditions.
For physical commodity ETFs, the system accounts for storage costs and contango effects in position sizing decisions. Rules can favor commodities with lower storage costs during periods of steep contango. This helps optimize returns across different commodity storage characteristics.
Agricultural commodity rules integrate weather data and forecasts into decision-making processes. Drought conditions might trigger increased position sizes in affected crop futures while excessive rainfall could reduce exposure. Weather integration adds another layer of fundamental analysis to technical signals.
Research shows commodity trends often persist longer than equity trends due to supply and demand imbalances. Rules are calibrated to hold commodity positions longer while using wider stop losses to avoid premature exits. This approach captures more of the available trend in commodity markets.
The platform provides institutional-grade execution for retail commodity traders. Order routing finds the best available prices while smart order types minimize market impact. You get professional tools without the complexity of traditional commodity trading systems.
