I trade only stocks right now but I've heard people swear by trading futures or forex. I've never tried either. Is one more volatile and therefore easier to make more money?

to commodities. That is what, if anything distinguishes a "futures" stock from a regular stock?

Why is orange juice traded on the NYMEX and not oranges?

Why is orange juice traded on the NYMEX and not oranges?

Can someone help me learn how to trade commodities on NYMEX. I know something about trading but stuck on others.

I am interested in trading commodities futures but only if I am sure that success is based on skill, intelligence and/or preperation. If I fail because I lack any of these I won't mind too much. But is success based mostly on luck?

What about day trading, is this gambling? Do you need luck to succeed or just preperation?

Hello guys,

I'm interested in learning more about forex, options and futures trading. I heard that there are mini or micro account that can go as little as US$ 200 or 300 dollar. Is it true ?

Also, any recommendations for free forex, options and futures trading simulators ? I know that some websites provide this service but usually the virtual capital is too high (10K or up), and I want to set the initial capital to small amount like US$ 300 or 500.

If possible, is there any recommendations for courses/books ? I'm not aiming for those "fancy" amount of income, several thousand/month is OK. Of course I'm not looking for courses that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars…
Thanks for the input. I agree that it's a bit too much to expect thousands of returns for such a small amount of capital.

But, if I expect my capital which is around 300 or 500 to be doubled by around 1-2 month. Doesn't is sound possible ????
My plan is actually something like this :
The capital will be 300 or 500. The goal is to double the capital by around 1 - 2 mounth(s).
When I have more money, I will buy more lots…

To make it safer, every time I manage to double the previous capital, I will do one more time before I plan to use more capital to trade.

It will be something like this (US0 capital) :
500 - 1000 - 1000 (don't use for trading) - 2000 - 2000(don't use for trading) - 4000 and so on …

Now the problem is to find the system that are able to do this… Any recommendations ?

I personally distrust systems that cost hundreds or thousands or dollars. There are simply too many scams…
