Futures Trading 101: Finding YOUR Comfort Level

In this video, I explore the critical aspect of futures trading: finding your personal comfort level. I address a common question from my community about whether traders prefer NQ or MNQ futures contracts. While it's natural to wonder what others are trading, it's essential to focus on what suits your own trading style and risk tolerance. To illustrate this, I walk through seven of my own trades, varying in product and position size. By observing the fluctuations in profit and loss during these trades, you can assess how different products and contract sizes might affect your trading experience. Remember, the key variables are the futures product and the number of contracts traded. Your emotional response to these fluctuations is a vital indicator of what is appropriate for you. Additionally, I provide information on futures trading basics and introduce the concept of prop firm trading, which allows you to minimize personal capital risk while accessing greater upside potential.
