Suggestions for futures to trade

  1. It's $250 per month for financials and commodities, through IB. No non-pro discount.

    That's 0.6% of my account value per year. A rule of thumb I have, is that a return increase should at least be three times the value of any cost. Would I expect my CAGR to increase from ~20% say to 21.8% through adding these ICE markets? Probably not.

  2. That suit in your avatar fooled me, a bit. I thought you would be bigger, your trading.

  3. I meant: That's 0.6% of my account value per year

    But it's true that my trading account is only a fraction of my net worth. Most of my money is in long only investments. I trade mainly for fun.

    You can trade ICE futures without data at IBKR.

    You could try VOLQ on the CME, which is basically a VIX-type future for the NQ. I have not been following it so don't know it's liquidity/volume, but it IS fairly new.

    You can call whatever you want to. Others are doing it. Jerry Parker runs Chesapeake Capitol, and is otherwise famous anyhow for being a turtle trader. I believe he does over 160 markets. 100% rules based. 3 time frames for each. Great returns. Nothing manual. Nothing crazy complicated other than not deviating. Since none of it is a secret per se, it’s not without imitators who are also successful.

    I day and night trade futures

    Time for you to include China exchanges like Shanghai INE.

    I guess you are a swing trader, not day trader.
    Because grain, meat, food... .. Futures day range is rather small.
