List your favorite market; stock, futures, or forex

Most traders have a speciality in a particular stock, contract, or currency. Tell us why and the advantages.



CBOT: mini-Dow futures $5

I like this contract by far compared to the emini S&P. One of my biggest reason is you can trade the dow mini using at 10pt stop. In the emini S&P this is equivalent to approx 1pt. It is fairly hard to trade the S&P using a 1pt stop.

Thumbs up

I swing trade mostly. I have to say my current favorite is gold. Gold has some nice trend days.

Gotta stay where the action is

Just out of curiousity, why trade the QQQQ? Why not trade futures instead when their is a bigger potential for profits?

Too used to it now. I make a decent income trading ETF's. I don't see the need to change.
