About Trading Commodity Options with Creativity by Carley Garner
DT Publishing (DeCarley Trading LLC) is an imprint of Wyatt-MacKenzie focusing on commodity trading educational literature. Titles range from beginning commodity trading to complex options strategies and futures market analysis.
Carley Garner is a futures and options brokerage with over a decade of experience. Some good, some bad, but all of it has been a learning experience.
Learn the ins and outs of trading options on futures with and experienced commodity broker and the author of several trading books!
In 2008 I published my first book titled Commodity Options with FT Press. At the time, I had been in the commodity business for four long years (at that age, four years seems like an eternity). In my naivety believed I had seen and experienced it all and, therefore, could never top my creation. I was wrong.
Carley Garner is a frequent guest on Bloomberg Television's Option Insight hosted by Abigail Doolittle. On the segments, Garner charts a particular futures market and offers a hypothetical option strategy that fits the market analysis. 
Carley reached out to colleagues and friends in the industry for feedback. This is what they had to say about her latest book.

Commodity options are priced to lose, use the market's money

Option buyers tend to face a low probability of success in exchange for unlimited profit potential, but perhaps option spreads offer a lower cost and smarter way to play the commodity markets.
