Suggestions for futures to trade

[Overnight]

...
Because grain, meat, food... .. Futures day range is rather small.

Grain, meat, food? *smacks maxinger* Dude, you sound like a poser saying that. Worst futures trader ever.

GAME PENALTY! -30 from Slytherin.

Sorry, I thought it would be easier if I sorted the file by exchange which obviously messed up the row numbers.

You can trade ICE futures without data at IBKR.

Problem is I use an execution algo so I need live data, although @Kernfusion is experimenting with using delayed data and a SNAP MID order.

Of course I could still add them and not trade them.

I day and night trade futures

Time for you to include China exchanges like Shanghai INE.

I guess you are a swing trader, not day trader.

IB don't seem to offer Shanghai. I'm not sure it's accesible to offshore retail, although I'd glad if that changed.

I don't know what a swing trader is, but I'm definitely not a day trader.

You can call whatever you want to. Others are doing it. Jerry Parker runs Chesapeake Capitol, and is otherwise famous anyhow for being a turtle trader. I believe he does over 160 markets. 100% rules based. 3 time frames for each. Great returns. Nothing manual. Nothing crazy complicated other than not deviating. Since none of it is a secret per se, it’s not without imitators who are also successful.

Indeed, Jerry and I are part of the co-hosting team at https://www.toptradersunplugged.com/category/systematic-investor/

I might have overlooked it in your list, but I'm using TSR20 (rubber) at SGX. TSR20 is IB's symbol, the local symbol at SGX is different.

IB don't offer this product.

Try the Asian brokers

I'm also looking at these:

but they don't appear to be tradable even with delayed data, the volume on IB looks very weird, one giant spike in the middle and almost nothing the rest of the days..

I've decided to look again at adding more futures markets (basically it's too hot to do anything substantive today). Here's a list of what I've currently got. Am I missing anything major? A few futures might have been launched recently that I missed? Maybe there are liquid micros that I can replace my existing futures with?

Don't bother suggesting something that's on an exchange I don't trade - there's probably a good reason. For example, the data fees for ICE are prohibitive.

I'm also staying away from single stock futures, at least at the moment.

Futures only please, no FX, no options, no crypto - unless it's a future!

Most sites - and I as well - trade CL, ES, GC, NQ and YM - of course avoiding 8:30 news and US open. These seem to work well for robotic trading for funded accounts as well (wegettradersfunded.com)

What about the softs like Cocoa, Coffee, Sugar, & Cotton?
