This diploma thesis deals with the Triple Screen trading system in the theoretical and practical level. As part of the work semiautomatic trading system, which focuses on trading with corn is designed. Previously, there are discussed theoretical assumptions necessary for the successful implementation of the trading system. There is explained and described deal with corn and principles and possibilities nowadays. The practical part includes the creation of custom application in Matlab development environment and scripting language. Using this application is simulated trading corn with selected trend indicators and oscillators. Using historical data there is found the best combination of indicators and it is subsequently applied on the following dates.

The main goal of the diploma thesis is to analyze the development of commodity prices affecting the prices of materials and to prove their impact on the materials. The monitored materials were selected to represent the widest possible range of the construction market. The final result of the work is the prediction of the price of reference object for the next five years.

Labels used on refreshments provide consumers simple, comprehensible and consistent information about packaged foods and enables them to make wiser choices. Food packages contain a link between agricultural commodities and consumable forms of food known to consumers. Labels act as a silent selling point through distinctive brands since it help the customers choose between products and keep a check on the amount of foods they are eating that are high in fat, salt and added sugars for example. Secondly, it facilitates the identification in the barcode system. The aim of this work is to compare refreshments from different sectors of the food industry from the view point of current legislation in European Union and Czech Republic. The comparison was carried out by selecting refreshments sold in Czech Republic compared to Belgium. On the basis of information gathered from the labels and questionnaire we can assess the importance of labeling when packaging products for consumer. Some local differences were recorded, eg in the case of minced meat sold in Belgium there were 4 certification logos; in the Czech Republic, on the other hand, the meat content of ham or packaged salami was stated. The questionnaire survey showed that consumers mostly follow the information on the labels, differently when buying food and monitoring the information on the labels by women and men, the age and education of respondents, and the nationality in this case almost does not matter. The results show that food packaging and labeling information needs to be given much higher attention from both parties consumers and manufacturers.

The fair trade is a concept that comes with better conditions for producers of the developing countries. It aims to improve their social, economic and environmental profile. If we want to describe fair trade market in South Bohemia Region, we have to deal with points of sale and customer's preferences. The growing phenomenon of the fair trade is also caused by many campaigns and projects supporting its philosophy.

The goal of the thesis is to evaluate the degree of efficiency of the particular markets and to apply the methods of fundamental and technical analysis on them in order to assess their efficiency in terms of profitablity. The thesis analyses the degree of long-term memory of the particular commodities and stock indices via Hurst coefficient. Afterwards fundamental and technical methods are applied to the market with the highest degree of long-term memory, which is the feeder cattle market. Indidivual methods from both disciplines are being applied at first, after wich a combnation of both is appleid as well. The result is the discovery, whether combining the two approaches leads to a higher profitability of the trading strategy. At the end the effect of transacton costs is also evalauted and a final conclusion is made regarding the profit potential of both methods for the case of individual Czech investor.

Tato diplomová práce se zabývá problematikou obchodování na komoditních trzích. Řešení problematiky spočívá ve využití umělé inteligence, konkrétně neuronových sítí, k technické analýze vývoje ceny vybrané komodity a snaze o co nejpřesnější predikci budoucího vývoje ceny pro podporu investičního rozhodování. Model neuronové sítě je vytvořen a použit pro predikci v programu MATLAB.

This study investigates Game theory including economic theories related to agricultural production. Model creation simulating economical system is built upon theoretic starting points. Commodity production is simulated using game theory with searching for Nash equilibria. Commodity demand function is grounded on concept of Cournot game. System includes land trading based on sealed-bid auctions with second-price. This model is using external Gambit software which is freeware library for game theory computations. Model evaluation is located in Experiments section where model structure and truthfulness is tested.

The goal of this diploma thesis is to analyze the gold market and provide readers with the necessary information and context having an impact on the price of gold. The thesis consists of three chapters. First one deals in general with the commodity market and introduces the readers to commodity exchange issues such as trading commodities in commodity exchanges, motives of commodity trading as well as the specific characteristics of commodities. Second one concerns the detailed analysis of commodity investment tools that investors might use when they feel like getting an exposure to price movements of commodities. The last chapter gears towards an analysis of the gold market in today's super globalized world and depicts what fundamental factors have an impact on the price of gold. At last, I shall summarize existing pieces of knowledge and cast light on further gold price movements.
