    I have mentioned before that you are the reason I started studying and trading again after 35years( I'm 73). I do like futures better so glad to see you are adding them to your trading. Yes, I would like many more videos on futures and anything else you think would benefit us. Everything has changed in trading with 35 years of technology and I am trying to learn as much as possible. I joined Team Bull because of your channel. Your videos are great!

    I trade the MES. I Normally start with 5 contracts and dollar cost average as I go, and let it set for hours, days and or over the weekend until I hit my ideal decent profit.
    Note: Take the profit when you can, and NOT when you have to. Do NOT get greedy!
    It's scary, but its the only trade where I make $600-$2000 within in hours, a day or two.
    9:17
    I STRONGLY recommend to NOT trade Futures with small account. Small I mean $25,000. It is doable, but you are limiting your success if your strategy goes against you.
    Futures csn move up and down so quickly.
    And do NOT use MARGIN.
    You thank me later.
    Studying the price movements is the key. At least works perfectly for my strategy.

    Brandon, why would you not trade futures with the TOS platform? Curious if there's a significant downside of trading with TOS...

    • @WhiteOakMushrooms
      @WhiteOakMushrooms Рік тому +2

      Because TOS contracts are too expensive. $4 to buy and $4 to sell per contract vs Tradovate which is a dollar to buy and a dollar to sell per contract.

    @wnose 8 місяців тому

    Another thing about options is the pre-market trading can really burn your P/L.... so for example, the price of the stock could drop 15%.
    But you can't do anything about it until the market opens at 9.30 am. 50% (or more) of the option value could just go kaput in seconds.

  • @CodElevator
    @CodElevator Рік тому

    Options are better to add in more contracts with less risks than futures because it's discounted if it goes against you, whereas futures, more add in equals more risks. But in order to make it work for you, strike price will have to be in the money and you'll have to understand market projection (where the market wants to go).
    I'm day trading both options and futures rn because the market moves based on the options market, not the futures. So i trade based off of my options strategy on both platforms.
    But best of luck to you and your new journey.

Going through a few different strategies really made the difference in making this a comprehensive video as averse to one the one trick pony videos that provide no challenge at all. Please note, I am speaking as a trader that has exercised a few different approaches to trading. I have failed horribly in various instances and know what it is like to take a licking. Heavier context videos like this are welcome to me at least anyway. Great! Thanks!

You said fibinacci retracentment is not an indicator and it is 100% i let that slide but in this video you said you can trade futures practically all day and that has huge misinformation. It moves a lot differently between market hours and evenings so make sure you look into it before you recommend it to other people cause that is a bummer for people who need to work im the mornings
