There is no catch and you would have to be an absolute FOOL to
pay hundreds and thousands in commissions as someone who
has no clue and is trying to see if they can make it work over time.
Dont be a FOOL.
The only drawback is you cant daytrade without 25K.
And lets be real, most people on this site dont have 25k.
So futures arent all bad.
If you dont have the money then trade micro's.
