    hi ..
    i would like to put a list together of the futures market that are good for intraday trading with enough momentum for scalping.. i am fairly new to trading and i only know the basic russell, s&p, dow and nasdaq..

    what else would you recommend or trade yourself- including markets other than indexes and also foreign markets


    thanks

    You can add ZN to the list. EUR still makes some nicemoves but volume has fallen off quite a bit. A lot of people are trading QM (crude) too.
     
  3. I would add the 6E/EC and CL contract as well. If momentum is your thing, you may enjoy the CL.

    You may want to include the DAX and/or STOXX as well for comparison purposes.
