Futures Market: Possible to trade for a living?
Southern Sandman replied to streaming's topic in Market News & Analysis
I think it is possible. But it takes money to make money, so you need a pretty big bank roll to start. And you need a viable strategy. The ones I've seen that you can buy aren't worth a squat. Beyond that you need balls of steel. Ultimately, a strategy you make yourself will be best, because you'll trust it. I have mine & have been testing with real money for some time. To be sure I'm still testing it. I am unwilling to give it away, sell it or divulge it to another living soul, so don't bother asking. Best to specialize in one market, and spend a very long time with a sim account. I don't think many appreciate the value of doing that, trading under real conditions without the risk. That's what I did/do. Big Mike's is a hugely valuable resource for tools and ideas, and an "elite membership" there was the best $75 I ever spent. My methods are completely based on what I found there. Those are my thoughts on the matter.
