Re: How vital is the timeframe that you pick for your charts?

I've noticed that on his site he's been talking more and more about hedging his grains and metals with options on futures because leaving an open position of a commodity futures overnight is highly risky. Just as easily as you can make your month with a great move in the AGS a nasty gap open against you one day can equally make a bad month!

Personally I'd say that to effectively swing trade you wouldn't want to have less than $50k in an account and at that level you'd still swing trade only 1 contract or maybe 2.
