Day Trading Commodities

[ProfitTakgFool]

Can anyone recommend a commodity contract that has enough liquidity to day trade actively. I currently trade the Index Futures and I'd like to study commodities for a while to see if there are any opps that come up while I'm waiting for setups on the Indexes. TIA.

??................grains, energies & precious metals might have some potential.

You can come to Minneapolis and trade spring wheat. It is about $100 month to lease a seat. Inter-market and calander spreads are popular as well as scalping.

Crude, Corn, Sugar, Gold.

For additional financials beyond just the indicies you can look at EC, BP, JY and, of course, bonds and notes.

I would trade the regular sized oil contract (CL). Perfect market for me, for intra-day trading.

I'd stay away from day trading grains during the US summer time.
Just a weather forecast can swing the market limit up or down.
