Everyone I talk to says to stay away from futures unless you have a lot of money to burn or you really know what you are doing. I guess the chances you end up with nothing are a lot greater than actually making some gains. I might get lucky once, but I doubt it would last very long!
Futures trading requires unique strategies... if you show up and trade the same way as you trade spot, you can say goodbye to your money already...
This is exactly what I am wondering. Will it be an expensive lesson in stick to what I (kinda) know?
I hope it works out for you if you try it.
