maryb Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Re: I would like to be a futures traders Can some one please share with me information on being a futures and options trader? I think most individual traders lose money. It is better to work for a hedge fund or inter-broker and get a cut of their profits, which they make from management fees etc...

blue1713006105 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Re: I would like to be a futures traders What is the expected return for an individual trader? Can any "real" trader share your experience? I have read sth like 70000$ per year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davjeon Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Re: I would like to be a futures traders I'm new to Futures too but it looks like more reliable due to regulations.. what do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfawoong Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Re: I would like to be a futures traders True, futures exchanges are better regulated compared to the norm forex brokers... nonetheless, i believe the key issue is whether the wannabe trader could adjust to the volatility of the future markets with the key benefits of profiting from both up/down scenarios... If adjusted well, its truly a paradise coz you can trade constantly to increase your capital on a daily basis.. otherwise, it's the faster way to get out biz if can't follow the futures markets, esp when the spikes come in!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkman13ui Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Re: I would like to be a futures traders Futures is almost a true zero sum game (minus the comission :0). It similar to stocks, but you get much better leverage plus alot of volatility which is a plus for a trader! Patience is the key to the game, likewise money management will be the holy grail that you must search for. No one can teach you those 2 concept except for yourself (IMO)! Successful future traders can make 6-7 figures depending on their account size of course. We take a little chunk out of the market day by day while swimming with the big whales (hedge funds, instituational banks, etc) Plus in the USA you get a good tax advantage trading futures! :) trduraikamaraj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkman13ui Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Re: I would like to be a futures traders Yarman, I would be happy to start posting some method that I personally use. My methods revolved around price action and volume, hence I have a little learning curve when it comes to Forex! They have no real consistance vol. I have a few ebooks and video that I can post, but I've just had a baby and things have been pretty busy around here. When I get sometime this weekend I'll try to setup a share online and I will post some ebooks and video on futures. Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afuturestrader Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 The futures markets are fantastic to trade. They move, have leverage and the costs (in liquid markets) are reasonable. However, in my opinion one should consider their own experience level. A sensible sequence for new traders would include paper trading followed by a non-leveraged instrument such as stocks. Once profitable in something non-leveraged it makes sense to consider leveraged markets such as futures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
