First a word of introduction from me. My name is Wes Tuinstra and I first got my introduction to the world of commodity trading in the eighth grade on a field trip to the Chicago Board Of Trade. There I saw traders "reading the tape" and watched the floor traders making their wild hand gestures. |
As our tour guide was explaining that with commodities you can make money as easily when the market goes down as when it goes up, I knew in my soul that someday I would be involved with commodity trading.
Years Of Preparation
After college I entered the US Air Force for eight years, but all through that time I studied everything I could get my hands on that explained commodities. I subscribed to the magazine Commodities (now known as Futures Magazine). I took a course in commodities preparatory to taking the Series 3 exam to become a Broker.
After the Air Force I became a programmer and worked for a number of firms developing systems for them. But my heart was with the markets. I studied options for both the stock market and the commodities market. And dreamed of the day when it would all become a reality.
How I "accidentally" Became A Broker
Then in 2001 I sat for the Broker's exam, thinking that it would show me where my areas of weakness were for more study. Instead I passed on the first sitting!
Thus began two years on the other side of the markets, as a broker. I look back on those days as ones of great education and introduction to the field of trading systems.
It was during that time that the firm I was associated with introduced all of us brokers to the Kenison Advisory. As time went by and I watched the trades unfold, I was impressed. It's not an advisory that says, " today buy wheat at such and such a price and on another day I'll tell you when to sell."
No. Rather it is a set of numbers that you USE in your trading to make decisions. There are different ways to use them, and people are forever thinking up new ways to profit from them.
Writing Mr Kenison's Website
As time went on, I actually used my programming background to write Mr Kenison's website for him. He welcomed my interest and devotion, and gave me personal instruction and coaching by phone.
Finally I had had enough, and left that firm and formed my own brokerage firm known as Bent Tree Financial.
What made it unique was that it was a Kenison only firm. I only accepted clients who would subscribe to the Kenison Advisory and include his numbers and turning points into their trading.
What Paper Trading Revealed
It was while doing that that I learned much more about how to TRADE his numbers. In preparation for opening my own firm I had paper traded my system using his numbers, and my hypothetical account tripled in the case of Coffee, doubled in Soybeans, and gained a slower, safer 40% in Corn. Wheat was the only commodity that showed a net loss.
I was convinced!...And Hooked!
Sadly, illness has now silenced Bruce Kenison, and I cannot truly say if he will ever recover.
But having hosted what amounts to a Fan Club for Bruce Kenison and his counting numbers, I now feel I am in a position to publish once again daily commodity numbers that are based on his methodology.
