Swing Trade Futures And Not Stocks

MMgoldopt460lunapic 132408223954800 12 Swing Trade Futures And Not Stocks

If you want to make money quickly – swing trade futures and not stocks. Especially if you’re a beginner thinking of going into trading part-time or full-time. Lets examine the differences starting with stocks:

You need to at least an account size of $25,000.00 as required by your broker to swing trade or day trade stocks. There is a wash rule in stocks. You need to track more than one stock to make decent money these days. Stocks are not that liquid and it takes more time to get out of your position(s) quickly.

Now lets examine futures: you can start with as little as $10,000.00. There is no wash rule in futures – go in and out as many times as you deem needed. You only need to track one index; either the e-mini Dow Futures or the e-mini S&P Futures to make decent money these days and another advantage is that some trading systems offer auto-traded accounts where I have never heard of a service that has auto traded accounts available for stocks. Futures are highly liquid and you can get out in a matter of minutes.

Put Options Easy to Understand

MMcontrol 460lunapic 132408223954800 7 Put Options Easy to Understand

What is a Put Option? A put option gives the holder of the stock the right, but not the obligation to sell the underlying asset at specific price during a preset period of time.

When you have the right to sell an option, the other party to the transaction has the obligation to buy. That is why it is called a put because you are “putting” the asset into the hands of the stocks seller at the agreed upon exercise price. This causes the option to increase in value as the price of the asset drops.

Let’s take a look at our earlier example of Widgets and Co to see how a put option works and why it gains value when the underlying asset price drops. It is January 2012.You know that the stock market has shown an extremely powerful seasonal tendency to drop during January and April.

Because Widgets and Co shares tend to rise and fall with the market, you want to own a stock that rises in value when the market falls. You want to own a put option. Widgets and Co is trading at 100 in January. You want to acquire the right to sell Widgets a Co shares if they drop in value, so you buy an option with a strike price of 100 and an expiration date of April18.
