Welcome to Titan Elite Trading
Professional education for experienced futures and commodities traders — books, courses, a free community, and a new lesson every day. Start with the welcome:
The Books
A library that started with Futures Under Fire and keeps growing — ten books by Grant Mercer, each a complete study of one part of trading: risk, spreads, volatility, positioning, seasonality, the trader's tax edge, and more.
The Courses
Structured courses across the whole of trading — risk and position sizing, options on futures, market profile, energy markets, Section 1256 taxes, and trading discipline — led by Mastering Commodities Risk, the 13-module masterclass. The first module is free.
The Community
The Inner Circle is our free community: study rooms by market — energy, metals, grains, softs, livestock, currencies, rates — a weekly Q&A circle, and traders who take their trading seriously. The courses live there too.

- Market Studies — energy, metals, grains & oilseeds, softs, and livestock, market by market
- Trader Tax — the Section 1256 edge, explained plainly
- Psychology & Process — discipline, journaling, and the honest review
- The Futures Glossary — the language of the pits, defined

There is a substantial risk of loss in trading commodity futures and options products. Losses in excess of your initial investment may occur. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Titan Elite Trading provides education for experienced commodities and futures traders — a professional education in the whole of trading: risk management and position sizing, positioning, spreads and relative-value trading, options on futures, market structure and order flow, seasonality, trader taxation, and the psychology and discipline that decide whether a trader lasts. Everything here is teaching: books, courses, and a free community. Education only, never advice and never signals.
The Blog
Free educational articles by Grant Mercer, published daily at titanelitetrading.com: market-history case studies (MF Global, the International Tin Council collapse, the LME nickel squeeze, the 2022 wheat crisis), risk frameworks, market-by-market studies across energy, metals, grains, softs, and livestock, trader-tax education, trading psychology, and a futures glossary. Every essay teaches one lesson a working trader can use.

About the Author
Grant Mercer is the author of the Titan Elite Trading books and of the articles on this site, and the teacher behind its courses. His work is built on one conviction: traders do not fail for lack of predictions — they fail on risk, process, and psychology — so that is what he teaches.
Who This Is For
Titan Elite Trading is for experienced futures and commodities traders who want structured, professional education across the whole of trading — risk, markets, method, and mindset. It is not personalized advice, not signals, and not a substitute for a trader's own tax or legal professionals.
