Turned off Futures

[jmp470]

i had to turn off futures on TOS, I’m giving up on them. I tried to trade them from March until today, but, repeatedly got smacked down.

Best of luck to all futures traders.

Now back to stocks. Where I need to recapture some ground from my experience with futures.

I gave up doing kidney transplants, of course I had no ideas how to perform them

Have you tried the new micro futures? You can perfect your skills with a little less risk.

I have not tried them. I was just doing 1 contract of either ES or CL.

I think I just have to gravitate to where I was/am more comfortable.

What exactly was your strategy?

What exactly was your strategy?

It was long then short

But, I way over traded and was using tick charts for the first time too.

In stocks, I use daily and hourly to define trend then enter or exit on the 5 minute.

Wise decision.

That method is not quality of life, as well, brokerage may eat your lunch in the long haul.

I hope stocks and options treat you better than futures did. Best to you, jmp

Thank you for the encouragement. These are the types of trades I can bang out all day long and make money...

but for some reason... I cannot do it on futures....
