Yes! We love futures trading and there will be live futures trading every day on our stream and in the chat room. Futures trading offers so many benefits for new and experienced trader such as:
No PDT Rule: You don't need a minimum balance of $25,000USD to trade futures. In fact, you can trade e-micros with as little as just $500 starting capital (but we recommend starting with a bit more).
Futures Trading Leverage: Due to the high amount of leverage that futures brokers offer, with a proper trading and risk management system, you can potentially grow your account faster with futures than you can with stocks.
Futures Market Liquidity: Unlike small cap stocks, volume and liquidity are high so you have the ability to use hard stops without slippage, and scale your strategy without having to worry about liquidity to enter and exit large positions.
Lower Commissions and Trading Costs: Its cheaper to trade futures than stocks. Lower fees and best of all, no borrow fees for shorting, and very cheap commissions. We get a fantastic group rate with our preferred broker Ironbeam (see Brokers and Trading Tools for more info).
Futures Trading Hours: The futures market only closes for one hour per day during the trading week. The CME Group is the world's largest futures exchange and offers trading in a wide range of futures contracts, including stock index futures, agricultural futures, and energy futures. The trading hours for CME Group trading hours are Sunday through Friday, from 5:00 PM to 4:00 PM Central Time, with a only a one-hour maintenance break each day from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM Central Time. This is ideal for someone who cant trade during the day but can trade during the extended trading hours.
Our Strategy: We typically have well over an 80% win rate in futures. While past performance does not indicate future results, we are confident that our guidance provides the best chance for success for our students. Follow along as we trade futures live every day on stream and in chat!
