How Do I Get Started Trading Futures?

Posted on by Ilan

So you’ve come this far. You’ve evaluated different vehicles of investment, and you have decided to expand your portfolio to include commodity futures. Now what? You are going to need a few tools at your disposal: a knowledgeable commodity broker that is quick on their feet, a reliable, efficient platform that will get you the information you require and executes your trades on a timely basis, and perhaps most importantly a plan.

Let’s begin with the most important requirement: because futures are so highly, there’s no doubt it can be a very risky asset class and you should only be trading with “risk capital”, or money that you can stand to lose and won’t affect your lifestyle if you do. Once you’ve accumulated your risk capital and you’ve come to terms with the nature of trading futures, you can take matters a step further by doing research on what kind of trader you want to be.

Hello Traders,

For 2013 I would like to wish all of you discipline and patience in your trading! 

I mentioned yesterday :So far most selling in stock index futures are met with volume buying at lower levels. I wish I had an idea of how long this would last….but I don’t. What can change the dynamics are the few employment reports we have this week. Starting with tomorrow ADP report, Thursday weekly report and non-farm payroll ( the big report) this

Friday.

It seems that this morning ADP report but actually more so ISM actually gave stock index a lower break for the first time in a while.

 

I am sharing with you daily chart of mini Russell for your review and possible support/ resistance levels.

Good ranges on many markets I follow intra day, which most day-traders look for.

As I said many times before , volatility and wide ranges can be a double edge sword….

Below you will see an hourly chart of the mini SP 500 along with some potential Elliott Wave targets for either pull backs or continued bounce.

Trade with patience, trade with discipline and good trading to all.

Patience, discipline and ability to accept losses are some of the biggest keys for any trading, especially for day-trading.

1. Market Commentary

Last week ( Thursday to be exact) I shared the same chart below with the sell signal if we can break 1204.50 ( The market was trading around 1215 at that time). Well we broke below and pretty much got the first target in one trading day.

Tomorrow we will have FOMC minutes, an important report which the market tends to react to or as I call it, “Market respects it”.

If the market breaks above 1204.50 after the minutes, we may see a relief from selling, on the other hand if the market reacts bearishly to the report than 1147.50 and 1120 are next targets.
