  • Futures Trading Platforms: How To Choose The Right One

    Try to develop a trading strategy for your futures or forex trading is hard enough. Now you have to find the correct trading platform that matches your style of trading. Not all futures trading platforms are made the same or can fit all trading styles. You must determine what your needs are when debating platforms for which you can use to trade successfully.

    As you research futures trading platforms also know that you are researching the online futures broker. So what are the questions you need to ask yourself, to ensure that you choose the right futures trading broker with the right futures trading platform?

    So, before you research which futures trading platform and futures trading broker that you do select, evaluate yourself and find out are you going to day trade or hold positions overnight. There is no use receiving long term charts, having a full service broker and getting trade updates on a weekly basis if you are looking to day trade the S & P 500. By simply asking yourself this question will save loads of time and can hone your choices of selecting the right futures trading platform along with an online futures broker much easier and faster.

    Your next step is to find out which platforms and online brokers you are interested in and speak to them so that you can explain to them what you need for your particular trading style or method 

    Understand that by doing this, you become a name that that futures broker will call in order to get your business 

    This is how they earn their living so you’ll need to be tolerable and not take it personally. They’ll want to know exactly how much trading experience you have, and how much money are you going to open your trading account for. These questions will directly effect how much commissions they will charge you. They are researching you just as much as you are researching them, so be prepared.

    I do not trade on the margin. Am i still considered a day trader and does the $25K SEC rule apply to me?

    Posted by admin on January 14th, 2009 and filed under day trading rules | 1 Comment »

    (f)(8)(B) Day[-] Trading
    (i) The term “day[-] trading” means the purchasing and selling or the selling and purchasing of
    the same security on the same day in a margin account except for:
    a. a long security position held overnight and sold the next day prior to any new
    purchase of the same security, or
    b. a short security position held overnight and purchased the next day prior to any new
    sale of the same security.

    It says here 'margin account'. Is it safe to assume that if i do not trade on margin i do not have to have $25K in my account?

    That rule only applies to margin accounts. If you do not have a margin account then you are ok but, the company that you trade with may have other rules. Usually, in a trade, the cash comes out of account on purchase but does not come into your account for three days. The account will say you have that money but can not use it. It is like depositing a check and not having the funds clear for a few days.

    Any online brokers relaxed the rule of 3 days holding period for same day buy and sell?

    I am not able to trade daily because of this rule.

    Actually, day traders MAY qualify to do that, but you have to be a certified investor, which means experience and plenty of cash to cover trades. What that essentially means is you have enough extra cash that the surplus cash is buying and when the trades clear that then becomes the surplus cash. Think of it as a different kind of "margin" that the government requires you keep to do this.
