    Failed futures traders switching to equities

    You sure you were addressing me or the OP? I would love to continue trading as it adds nicely to my lifestyle. Trading outright futures/equities is too much work for me. I would like to thank all of those traders here who pointed me towards spreads. The best advice I was given was to find...
