Three Futures Markets you Should Look at Now

Please visit our E Mini Futures Day Trading Course at http://www.easy-emini.com/

Futures investing is typically dominated by markets such as the stock indexes, bonds and gold. Did you know there are markets that are reaching prices not seen since 1995? The three markets are Sugar, Coffee, and Cotton. These aren’t even on your list are they? Honestly, I had to do a little work just to add these symbols to my order screen so I know the feeling. Are they worth a look? I think so. If the lifeblood of investing is volatility and the ability of a market to put in a sustained trend, up or down for a material length of time, in my opinion these three fit the bill.



Let’s take a look at the charts for these markets:

Mobile E-Mini Quotes & Trading IPhone and IPad App: A Product Review

I just completed my two-week trial of the new Tap & ; Trade futures trading app for the IPhone and IPad and am left wondering how we all got by before this marvelous invention. Yes, the IPhone in and of itself is the cool tool, but when it comes to doing real heavy lifting, the Tap & Trade app turns a toy into an E Mini (E Mini FAQ) and other futures trading machine.

I won’t bore you with all the technology details. My job today is to share my experience through my non-techy eyes. If you want all the product specs I invite you to go to their web site: http://www.tapandtrade.com/.

First off, it is completely simple to set up and get going. Especially when compared to PC-based, software driven trading applications this literally took minutes. Not only was I up and going in just a couple of minutes, the entire experience was done with no manuals, lengthy instructions or coaching from a customer service representative. Just as the IPhone is intuitive, so is Tap & Trade. Once you input your user name and password (this must be done every time you begin) you are brought to a simple screen with market groups to spin through. Click on one of the futures market groups or a custom group to see last price, settle and up and down arrows.

To get a more in-depth view of a particular market or place a trade, simply tap it and a much more detailed screen appears. Last price, bid/offer information and simple buy and sell buttons are at the top of the screen. In addition, depth of market and last traded pricing is also displayed. The charts are nice and clear. While perhaps not the most detailed, the charts get the job done.

In short, this app allows you to monitor virtually every futures market and place a trade, fast. In addition, it comes with a desk-top version that automatically synchs with your IPhone so that you can go back and forth between the two seamlessly.

What does this kind of cool cost? To get a quote only version is $250 per month and adding trade connectivity brings it up to $500 per month. Perhaps not for everybody, but if you are away from your trading desk and want either quotes or trading delivered simply and elegantly, than you should give this a spin.

Futures Margin Rates

A frequent question among our clients is: What is margin all about and what is the margin for a particular contract?

I am pleased to say that the CME Group web site has provided a couple of excellent resources that helps to answer margin, or performance bond questions.

Should you Invest in an E mini Futures Trading Course?

Perhaps you have been trading for a while and have wanted to take your trading to the next level. Perhaps this is due to the fact that your E Mini futures (E Mini FAQ) trading has migrated to a low level and you wish to bring it up. Either way, if you find yourself in a place to want to build upon your knowledge base then maybe purchasing a trading course is for you.
There are some things to consider when going down this path. First, you have options when it comes to furthering your education. While not an exhaustive list, here are some things to think about:

Online or In Person? Being the provider of an online course (http://www.easy-emini.com/) I am a bit biased but it is important to know what is available. Obviously, distance plays a huge role in your decision making process but also important is that you understand how you learn. Do you learn better by reading on your own or is a classroom setting? My opinion is that people tend to focus on the course itself and not how it is delivered.

Individual or Group? When it comes to the in person type of E Mini trading courses some courses provide for one-on-one instruction. This is usually referred to as trade coaching. Like any other type of lessons, the private version is usually much more expensive but if you have the means this could be the best route to get you to where you want to go. Consider only getting the attention of the instructor a portion of the time.

Broad or Sharply Defined Course? Make sure to ask for a complete course syllabus and description before putting your money down. Make sure the course is going to cover exactly what you want. In the end, two very precious things are at stake: You time and your money! Think how many times you have taken a class, or sat through some presentation and came away with little more than what you came in through the door with?

Education, in E Mini futures trading or anything else is a very personal thing. Be honest with yourself and clearly define what it is you are looking for. What do you want to get out of furthering your education? You need to successfully sift through the marketing literature about a course and determine if it is exactly what you need.
