Day Trade Futures: The Risk Averse Need not Apply

Traders are often lured to into the futures markets with a fascination for day trading. The thought of trading leveraged contracts without overnight risk is appealing to many, but underestimated by most. As a retail broker I have had the pleasure, and the pain, of watching day traders attempt to profit through strategies ranging from scalping to "position" intraday trading which spans several hours.

Think Outside of the Box: Increase the Odds of Success with Option Selling

The characteristics of unlimited profit potential and limited risk lure traders to long options but we argue that limited risk doesn't necessarily mean less risk.

Futures Order Types, and Placing Commodity Trades

Sometimes it is the small details that make the big difference in performance. Familiarity with order types and how to properly place each of them is critical to being a successful trader.

Karen Gibbs, formerly of CNBC, Fox News and PBS, spoke with Carley Garner, analyst and broker at DeCarley Trading, on futures and options. The conversation drifted between trader psychology, the purchase of options as insurance against long or short futures contracts, stop orders, alternative views of commission and the bottom line in your trading results, using options to swing trade intermediate-term market trends and determining whether or not your personality is right for futures trading.
