Commodity Trading at MCX India
Global Traders (based outside USA) can trade with CFDs of the commodities: Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Gold, Silver — using the trading signals we create for USA (Nymex, Comex) commodities. CFDs are popular with traders in Europe, Middle-East, Asia, and South America. CFDs can be traded nicely with our market research and trading signals, and we have done it successfully with our inhouse accounts for many years.
What Makes Us Different?
Transparency First
All trading signals are published in a Google Sheet. Every subscriber sees the same information: Entry Price, Target Price, Stop Loss, Notes & Commentary. No selective reporting. No after-the-fact updates. Everything is on the Google Sheet. Transparent Research.
Positional Trading, Not Noise
We avoid intraday noise. Our trades are based on Hourly, 4-Hourly, and Daily charts — often holding positions for several days where the bigger opportunities exist.
Research, Not Advice
We are a publisher of market research. Not Investment Advice. We do not give individual advice. All subscribers receive the same information at the same time via Google Sheets. No exceptions.
Global Relevance
Whether you trade from New York, London, Dubai, or Singapore, these contracts are the same benchmarks. Our service gives you disciplined research on the markets that truly matter.

Nature of Service
6. Is MarketStar.us an advisory service?
No. We do not offer investment or trading advice. We publish research and educational content for all subscribers equally.
7. Do you manage client money?
No. We do not handle client money, investor funds, or execute trades. In fact, we have no visibility into your capital position or your trading account or your financial background. We are strictly a publisher of Market Research.
8. How is your service different from signal services?
We are not a trading tips service. We publish structured research-based trade ideas with full transparency, not personalized recommendations. The track record and feedback/ testimonials from commodity traders support our work as elite commodity futures trading research service. The same research is being used for the trading operations of MarketStar Commodity Trading Fund. So, we are publishing trades and trading signals that are being used with real money in real trading accounts.
9. Do you guarantee profits?
No. We never guarantee any profits or trading outcomes. Commodity futures involve significant market risk.
10. What kind of analysis do you use?
Our trades are based on technical analysis using Hourly, 4-Hourly, and Daily charts, combined with research-driven price action studies. Commodity Futures Trading is about managing risk, working with probabilities, and anticipating market scenarios. Even the highest quality analysis (with a proven setup) can go wrong, because the markets are constantly evolving. The three things in our control are: Entry Price, Target Price, and Stop Loss — and we must use them wisely.
Trading Style and Approach to Markets
11. Are your trades intraday?
No. All trades identified by our market research are positional, typically lasting several days or several weeks.
12. How many trades do you publish per month?
The number varies depending on market conditions. We focus on quality, not quantity. We do not value trading activity for the sake of it. Trading makes sense when the necessary setup is favorable.
13. Do you publish options trades?
No. We cover only futures contracts, not options.
14. Are trades updated in real time?
Yes, mostly. The Google Sheet is updated as soon as our market research identifies a new trade or update to an existing trade.
15. Do you include stop losses in every trade?
Yes. Every trade includes: Entry Price, Target Price, Stop Loss, and Notes.
