Newbie Thread need some answers please.

Kid, dont listen to the ones who tell you you can't trade with 200$. You wont trade REAL futures with 200$ though. FXpro will take the other side of you trade or will hedge his book of 0.1 orther positions by trading futures for themselves. So you must have an account outside the US I guess. And what you are trading must be CFDs or some fuck top thing like that (nothing wrong with that).
You will most likely lose your 200$ but it's worth it if you learn. Now most of us can't help because futures on "low cap" is not a statement that makes a lot of sense to futures traders. Do you have a list of stocks available or do you want to trade commodities like gold and oil?

hELLO im not a kid i just want advice from ppl who do that :D but nvm im not offended you say kid im pretty happy.


From 1 year im trading paper or live with micro lots i blow 2 accounts on forex trading via indicators systems and other stupid commercial things...

rightnow im trading only with technical analyse so to the question about what futures...


I would like to trade S&P 500 mini , Corn , Soybean... this who require less money.


+ i think to trade on 1h timeframe wich means . 1 position is opened maybe 1h - 1 week.
 
I'd be curious to know what PERCENTAGE of your account a roundtrip costs you with that balance.

If you're 4% down just for a roundtrip, I can't see you making money. Anyone would LOVE to consistently make 4% on a trade, and you're loosing that amount before accounting for the price movement in the trade.

Trade stocks and learn like everyone else. Work hard in school, then get a real job and live below your means. Save more money and you can trade a real portfolio. Then if you choose to risk that money, go for it.

$200 is not enough for futures trading.

Just to be correct, it can be.

The OP (who doesn't sound like a native English speaker) can trade CFDs. (Contracts For Difference)

Those are good substitutes for index futures and can be traded (for non-American traders, and I don't think the OP is one) with a few bucks down. 1 ES point is only $1, so the leverage is way less than with ES futures, but that is the advantage for a beginner. He isn't going to make big money but he will trade something real, with real emotions. Perfect for practice...

There is no broker fee either, because the broker makes his money on the spread. One such a broker would be:

avafx.com

Again, US traders are not allowed to use them legally...
