Quote from optioncoach:
So I assume stocks rarely have price gaps as well.
Every negative argument you have for futures works for stocks as well. I am not advocating one over the other but stocks have their fair share of risk as well.
The bottom line is that if you have no idea what you are doing and have no experience you will lose money no matter what you trade.
Research before reward....
optioncoach, are you a successful futures trader? how long have you been trading futures? i suppose you prefer options than futures?
(options and futures).
