The two challenges of trading from home09.05.07

In the late-eighties, when Lindsay Lohan and electronic trading were in their infancy, I remember thinking that this great, new way to trade would allow me to trade from the beach. I did not consider the impracticality of protecting a computer from sand and the complication of keeping it dry. I just thought it would be the greatest thing to trade from the beach. (more…)

    Jeff Quinto is a 37-year veteran futures trader and a world-class trading coach. He has coached hundreds of futures traders from Hong Kong, France, Slovenia, England, Australia, the US and Canada.

  • Risks of Futures Transactions

    Trading futures contracts may not be suitable for all investors. You may lose a substantial amount of money in a very short period of time. The amount you may lose is potentially unlimited and can exceed the amount you originally deposit with your broker. This is because trading is highly leveraged, with a relatively small amount of money used to establish a position in assets having a much greater value. If you are uncomfortable with this level of risk, you should not trade these contracts.
