Making A Killing In Index Futures

Fundlord

After a messy run in the FX making $100k in one year from a small deposit, losing 50k in a month and making it back again I have decided to switch my focus to the index futures market.

My reason for doing this are:

Less choppy
Upward bias
Great short opportunities due to quick nature of stock market sell offs
Not as manipulated as FX
Regulated

Can anyone who has traded both markets explain the any key differences/characteristics I should look out for ?
 
When you say "fx is manipulated", what are you referring to? If your strategy works well for non-deliverables or spot fx, you can try fx futures.

yes, be careful when you start trading real money
 
You need to do a lot more independent research and run a demo for a few weeks to find out if your performance is transferable, surely...

Why do you feel the need to constantly tell us you made $100k in the fx market ? We are happy you did well, but a little humility goes a long way.

U need to tell us what index u plan to trade. They all behave differently.

I just want people to know that I do have a strategy that I have been fine tuning for nearly 2 years and I know my way around markets.

Assuming you have a little over 100k, you lost 50% of your capital, then quickly made 100% to get back. Those results are quite volatile. Live by the sword, ...

I overuse leverage on several occasions sometimes it pays off big other times it hurts me badly. I couldn't bring myself to trade for 1-2% per month.
