Why should you consider day trading futures as a foundation to build from when you’re looking to make money with trading (any trading)?

There are 5 major reasons:

1. Low capital investment

2. Reliable cash flow

3. Can be done on a truly part-time basis

4. Incredible platform to learn the fundamentals of trading that can be applied to other instruments (Crypto, Forex, Stocks, etc.)

5. Scalability

Allow me to elaborate…

Low Capital Investment

You can start learning with paper trading for FREE. But more importantly, you can trade with a “Funded Trader Program” for less than $100. You will be able to practice with near LIVE money trading experience, which is a very crucial stage for learning how to trade. Trading with live ammo is much more challenging as the emotion is 10X folds and the market is very unforgiving. So the more practice you get with live ammo, the better and faster you become a profitable trader. On top of all that, when you start trading with a “Funded Trader Program”, you can save a lot of the initial investments like platform license fees, data feed, and your initial account funds. These are provided when you trade with a “Funded Trader Program”.

Reliable Cash Flow

When you focus on trading instruments like NQ or ES (which I highly recommend if you are a new or beginner trader). The market moves generally 30-40 points on NQ daily, which gives you an incredible opportunity to scalp daily regardless of whether the market is going up or down. What this means is you can come into the market and scalp $100 to $500 on micro contracts and 1k to 5k on mini contracts reliably every single day. The best part is you do not need a huge amount of capital like in other markets where the PDT (Pattern Day Trading) rules apply. Another major benefit of trading futures is that it doesn’t matter how many transactions you take throughout the session, at the END of the closing bell, it will be settled for cash and you’re done. What this means is money in the account, there is no waiting (delayed time for transactions to settle). This is the reason why big fund managers move into the futures market.

Can Be Done On A Truly Part-Time Basis

For about 2 hours a day, you can truly make significant gains to build your war chest or a substantial supplement income to what you are already doing. For example, every day you can scalp one to two 15-point trades on the NQ, and be done for the day. On the NQ that is $300 to $600 profit based on ONE contract daily.

Incredible platform to learn the fundamentals of trading that can be applied to other instruments (Crypto, Forex, Stocks, etc.)

To be successful with futures trading you need a solid foundation and understanding of fundamentals, mainly price action. Once you understand price action, you can apply it to any form of trading including crypto.

Scalability

The scalability of trading futures is incredible. When you first start, you should be using micro contracts to trade. However, as soon as you are proficient at scoring 15-30 points daily, you can switch to trading with mini contracts, which is an immediate 10X in leverage. And the best part is, you 10X the amount of monetary reward, but the work is still the SAME. It’s still 15-30 points daily. 1 to 2 trades daily.

For example, if you were trading 3 MICRO contracts, and you scored just 15 points daily, that’s $90 per day. It is not much, but while you are learning and practicing, it is a great starting point. Now if you switch that over to MINI contracts, for the same amount of work of scoring 15 points daily, that $90 becomes $900. And you can do this all within 2 hours per day. In my experience, it’s a lot less time (sometimes in the span of 5 to 15 minutes).

To scale from here is just a matter of adding additional contracts to the trade. At 5 mini contracts at 15 points daily is $1500. And in my experience, I average 30-45 points daily not 15 points. 15-points daily is very conservative.

At 5 mini contracts at 30 points, the profit is $3000 profit daily. There are 20 trading days on average every month. This means a potential profit of $60,000 monthly just by trading 2 hours a day scoring an average of 30 points daily (literally 1 to 2 trades per session).

Final Thoughts

Once you build the correct foundation with futures trading, this can become an entire 6, even 7-figure business on a truly part-time basis. And the best part of it all compared to any traditional side hustle, you don’t have to worry about getting clients, ads, fulfillment, or social media, whatsoever.

But moreover, if you want to get into crypto trading, or start investing even, this can provide you with an incredible stepping stone that you need in terms of liquidity and buying power.

It’s an incredible skill set to have.
