The problem with trading for the majority is, it operates in waves.
For a period of time you can make good money and be living on cloud 9.
It makes one believe they are a top gun pro.
Then comes another wave and you're underwater.

Hi everyone. I'm completely new to trading and would like to have a go at scalping s&p 500 mini futures. Is this possible from Australia? Is there a more suitable future I could scalp? There are so many choices when it comes to brokers and platforms. What broker and platform would be the best fit for a noob?
I have a couple of grand to put in the trading account and would like to make 2 to 3 hundred a day. Thanks to all who respond.

Save your money, mate. You are not going to make $2-3 per day, much less $200. You can trade from Australia, but don't bother.
