    Why does it seem that good traders go to futures market?

    How much $$ is required to be Scalp Day Trader ?

    It is much better to be a trend follower than an intra-day tick scalper. but if you must scalp and you have ALL day to watch the market you should consider the E-mini NASDAQ 100 Futures Contract. You get the leverage, liquidity and quick execution with minimal daytrade margins and you can open...
