7 Steps to Successful Day-Trading Futures: A Broker's Perspective

I came up with the following personal observations after servicing global online traders for more than 9 years. Keep in mind that some of these steps can be switched around as far as order. Some of these steps are always required and that each one of you is different and may relate to different stages in different ways.

  1. Education – Hopefully, if you are already trading you have done this part as far as initial education: contract specs, trading hours, brokers, platforms, risks & opportunities in futures etc. The second type of education is constant in nature and relates to trading techniques, the evolvement of markets, diff. trading tools etc.
  2. Find a System - I am definitely not advising you to go on the web and subscribe to a "black box” system (buy/sell triggers that you don't know why they are being generated). What I am advising, is a trading technique, general set of rules, trading concept etc. As you progress you may put the different rules and indicators into a computerized system, but you don't necessarily have to as long as have a trading approach/system and you not just coming in the morning "blank".
