Everybody seems to have the same problems. First they trade something that is random but they think it has an edge. If they still have an account left they then spend a lot of time finding a real trading plan with an edge... Then they find that they can't execute it... then, if they have some money left they trade a simulator until they can execute maybe... If you started with stocks and went to futures as you were progressing you would probably think that futs were much better and vice versa...
Stock or future is not the issue,one must be profitable,and that is the bottom line,and must be main goal.you can trade anything ,but show me the greens.
