RTRADER What do you mean when you say you are 'just kidding'? I you refering to all of your post or just part of it. Cheers for your comments Eus and Traderzones.
corn is fine to trade as is wheat and beans, although very scary markets imo. Traded them for a long time. Stay out of bellies, oats, lumber, oj etc etc. Unless you really know what it going on. I started trading euro dollars and I really like them. One of my fave markets is coffee. It's very seasonal and the market is deep as hell and I just enjoy the way it trades. Sugar is the same way.
Futures is a new area, hence until I become more familiar I will only be trading a low number of contracts. However, if possible, I may as well start trading a commodity which I can later scale up (if successful) in terms of number of contracts. If anyone thinks I am on the wrong track, I would welcome your comments. Cheers
It's true that a lot of liquidity is good for scaling up. It reduces slippage and keeps the spreads tight, but it also makes it more difficult to buy at the bid or sell at the ask. Depending or your style of trading this might be a good or a bad thing.
