THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING COMMODITY CONTRACTS CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL. YOU SHOULD, THEREFORE, CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER SUCH TRADING IS SUITABLE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION. COMMODITY FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRADING IS NOT SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.
About the Narrator
Born and educated in Canada, Mr. Thachuk began his career in June 1988 at the Bank of Canada (Ottawa, Ontario), the nation's central bank responsible for setting national monetary policy and intervening in foreign exchange markets, and the Canadian counterpart of the Federal Reserve Board in the United States.
Thereafter, he moved to New York City to become the Economist and Derivatives Market Strategist of FINEX, the financial instruments division of the New York Board of Trade - the oldest futures and options exchange in New York. He authored numerous trading and hedging guides on the Exchange's listed financial futures and options contracts including foreign currency products - especially the U.S. Dollar Index - and Treasury Note products.
In the mid 1990's, Mr. Thachuk worked as a consultant to Euro Brokers, the nation's largest brokerage of over-the-counter emerging market debt instruments, where he designed and managed an arbitrage program with the newly listed EMDX futures contract which he himself had designed while at the New York Board of Trade. In August 1996, Mr. Thachuk founded World Link Futures, Inc. He has personally been trading futures and options for over 10 years.
Mr. Thachuk has a Master of Arts in Economics received from the University of Western Ontario (1988) and an Honors Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration and Economics received from Brock University (1987) with specialization in International Finance.

About Alaron's Futures Training Division
Futurestraining.com, the official website of Alaron's Futures Training division, was developed so that all clients may have the tools,
knowledge and experience of the seasoned futures trader.
Clients of Alaron have the potential for longevity and success in trading, but many fall short due to a lack of what "knowledgeable traders" have termed "basic needs". We understand the idea of leveraging large contracts, with comparatively less capital, can be very alluring. Unfortunately leverage is a double edge sword, and clients should be prepared before jumping "head first" into futures trading. In response to this, clients of all skill levels will have a wealth of resources placed at their disposal.
We at Alaron's Futures Training Division believe education and experience to be the cornerstones of success in trading, and we pledge to provide the tools and assistance necessary to achieve that goal.
