Hello everyone and thank you in advance for any information.

I just started trading futures last month and have already had an extremely expensive lesson trading wheat and getting caught limit up. I lost 40% of my account in that single trade. I am in for the long run and look forward to a career in trading but there is a fat chance of that happening if I make any more of these mistakes. I was profitable trading my sim account but have not seen that come out in my live account. I don't want to take huge risks and find myself being stopped out often. I did a search but could not find anything..

Are there any markets out there that you think a new trader could watch with low volatility? I often find I am on the right side of the trade only to get stopped out before the move.

Thanks guys,

Sam

Same question but just in the main Trading forum. I've been watching and practicing with the 10-year Treasury Bond Futures and I like it a lot.

I just want to know what markets from any sector that ETers think are good and low volatility markets.
