The Switch: Why I Started Trading Futures

[@charlierobles316]

I love Futures and thats my favorite get in early during pre market at like 5 am and by the time the market opens you're done if you want.

[@iamMcKinnley]

teach me moere

[@pvjaime]

I have mentioned before that you are the reason I started studying and trading again after 35years( I'm 73). I do like futures better so glad to see you are adding them to your trading. Yes, I would like many more videos on futures and anything else you think would benefit us. Everything has changed in trading with 35 years of technology and I am trying to learn as much as possible. I joined Team Bull because of your channel. Your videos are great!

[@BrandonTrades]

I LOVE to hear that❤️ welcome back brother

[@jessicaengle4396]

Would love more videos on the tax benefits and how to set up the tradovate platform. Thank you for always being so informative and clear when you are explaining things!

[@AshleyTrades]

Would definitely love that tradovate set up tutorial. Thank you

[@therealgunnshow]

Stoked that you made the switch over to Futures! Thanks again for bringing a ton of value with your videos, I'm excited for Boot Camp 2.0 💯

[@jesusson7536]

Pls boss, do more tutorials on how to set up the tradovate platform and how to trade futures on it. Thanks in advance

[@BrandonTrades]

For sure 📈

[@ozzyguerra3073]

I 2nd this

[@niallmccabe4896]

I 3rd this, no better way to learn than from a TB Goat! Lezzzgoooo

[@IvanVlogzz]

I 4th this I’m tired of being broke

[@BrandonTrades]

@@IvanVlogzz I 5th this cause I want to make the video 🤣

[@glendinningm86]

When you start dreaming of meeting your idols, fortune is coming. I can’t wait to get back into the game!

[@Aaron.trades]

Welcome to the futures side brotha!

[@BrandonTrades]

🔥🔥🔥

[@jonjack-e5i]

yes, please talk more about the tax benefits in a separate video. Thanks Brando!

[@BrandonTrades]

💯

[@jeffiverson8509]

Yes, Please. Let us know how you deal with taxes. I am new to day trading and have been trading options for 4 years. Taxes are a big part of trading and I never hear people talk about it much. What are your strategies? Are there any legal ways to reduce tax implications?

[@Whyyoutrade]

been here since bootcamp 1.0, and im switching to futures soon as well. love this bro keep it coming. must say i been dabbling into ict concepts, and it changed a lot for me.

[@BrandonTrades]

LFG

[@Whyyoutrade]

Bro we’d love for you aswell if you do a video on tradovate, to go over how exactly futures expiration dates work ✊🏽

[@igorkalitventsev9246]

Brandon, why would you not trade futures with the TOS platform? Curious if there's a significant downside of trading with TOS...

[@WhiteOakMushrooms]

Because TOS contracts are too expensive. $4 to buy and $4 to sell per contract vs Tradovate which is a dollar to buy and a dollar to sell per contract.

[@BrandonTrades]

Fees

[@curtisharris7494]

Yes, I am new to trading and I think futures is the way I want to go. Any content you put out will be appreciated!

[@zahir1283]

Why we can't trade individual share like Tesla app Microsoft in future trading

[@wnose]

Another thing about options is the pre-market trading can really burn your P/L.... so for example, the price of the stock could drop 15%. But you can't do anything about it until the market opens at 9.30 am. 50% (or more) of the option value could just go kaput in seconds.

[@michaelprosperity3420]

I'm a Penny Stocker and was looking to do Options but no anymore. Futures is my future. I've always understood geopolitics and macro economics which is a perfect for for Futures.

[@CodElevator]

Options are better to add in more contracts with less risks than futures because it's discounted if it goes against you, whereas futures, more add in equals more risks. But in order to make it work for you, strike price will have to be in the money and you'll have to understand market projection (where the market wants to go). I'm day trading both options and futures rn because the market moves based on the options market, not the futures. So i trade based off of my options strategy on both platforms. But best of luck to you and your new journey.

[@tylertradesalot]

Bro pleaseeeee make the tax break video, I can't wrap my head around the switch right now because of the gamma pushes from options, but if there is serious benefits when it comes to taxes it would be more considerable. Would love that video!

[@50Options]

I trade the MES. I Normally start with 5 contracts and dollar cost average as I go, and let it set for hours, days and or over the weekend until I hit my ideal decent profit. Note: Take the profit when you can, and NOT when you have to. Do NOT get greedy! It's scary, but its the only trade where I make $600-$2000 within in hours, a day or two. 9:17 I STRONGLY recommend to NOT trade Futures with small account. Small I mean $25,000. It is doable, but you are limiting your success if your strategy goes against you. Futures csn move up and down so quickly. And do NOT use MARGIN. You thank me later. Studying the price movements is the key. At least works perfectly for my strategy.

[@ywnirii9512]

Most definitely would love those videos in the future, would make transitioning to trading futures a lot easier!

[@alohaparsons3328]

Good explanation.. I am trying to understand the concept of account liquidation. At what time, would the account get liquidated, which is scary?

[@BillyJ10]

Would really like you to discuss margin requirements. Thanks for more excellent content.

[@savierespinal3887]

Thanks for the video! Lot of clarity

[@VonNaya-cp7uc]

Im new to trading and i learned that futures can allow you to start with a small account. Im very green and just looking for any content on futures.

[@damanpreetsingh4684]

I’d love to see a video on Tradovate setup. Thanks in advance

[@BrandonTrades]

For sure!

[@Austin-dj9rn]

Thanks Brandon. Yes, please do a video on the Tax advantages with trading Futures. Thanks.

[@VonNaya-cp7uc]

Yes.... id would totally love a video on tradovate.... i just purchased a trading view account will be opening an account for tradovate for the paper trading. Im looking for a video on just the platform and its features and navigation.

[@kenvano5250]

PLEASE make a video on how to setup tradovate and connect it to tradingview as well as the different monthly subscriptions.

[@prettybrwneyez7757]

This is right on time. Making the switch this week myself.

[@BrandonTrades]

📈📈📈

[@nisargupadhyay9362]

Thank you for creating this video. Is there a reason you only day trade Futures and not swing them? I am still learning the basics about futures trading hence this questions.

[@AP_123_]

Tax video and Tradovate video, please, Brandon. Also, update on Futures YTD and thoughts since switching video!

[@cole-f1h]

Hey, I bought both of your books on day trading and have not started reading them yet. Would reading these books help me better understand trading futures? Would also like to note that futures seems so much easier to get into considering how much more simple it seems to be. Would love more videos on it!

[@djjdot6860]

What trading platform are you using

[@kamraansooky]

Would you recommend futures trading over Forex?

[@xjer2880]

I appreciate the videos . A video on setting up Tradeovate would be awesome

[@BrandonTrades]

Coming soon!

[@pablorosales6457]

Tutorial on tradovate please. I been options trading on Robinhood, but I really want to do futures.

[@shinda891]

How does 'buying power effect' gets calculated when buying a future contract? For example, let's say I want to buy 1 contract /ES @ 5300. How does it translate to actual dollar value? How much would I have paid to buy 1 /ES contract @5300?

[@garyscott4339]

Brandon, can I use the TOS trade station with futures? Does Tradovate have advantages over TOS? I truly appreciate your vids, always very informative, clear, and intelligent. Thank you!!!

[@TheHunter5790]

TOS margin requirements and fees are very high

[@MDRtrading]

I would recommend it .... If you don't have $$$ and still in the phase of being profitable and break even phase.. Then this is a go to .. 100%

[@Spitfireseven]

This is a very good video. Regardless of how good the video is the tight and concise information works very well. Going through a few different strategies really made the difference in making this a comprehensive video as averse to one the one trick pony videos that provide no challenge at all. Please note, I am speaking as a trader that has exercised a few different approaches to trading. I have failed horribly in various instances and know what it is like to take a licking. Heavier context videos like this are welcome to me at least anyway. Great! Thanks!

[@briandelafuente7167]

What is my max loss for futures? Like if I buy one $200 contract on SPY then $200 is the most I can lose.

[@deannacobb5376]

I trade futures but can't get use to tradeovate's charting for some reason. I stuck with Amp and am still able to use Mt5. I think I'm the only one I the world that likes to place trades directly from MT5.

[@garyscott4339]

Brandon, your vids are very clear and thorough...I'm currently watching your bootcamp series on futures, and loving them. I'm a beginner and just started paper trading options on TOS about a month ago...75% green days, but still early in my learning. Can you please do a vid on creating your Tradovate trading station? Btw, do you do one on one mentoring? if yes, the cost? thank you, Gary

[@BrandonTrades]

I just use Tradovate website for buy & sells

[@BrandonTrades]

But dm me on instagram @Carwhorns & we can talk! Or email: [e-mail]

[@carlosz114able]

What platforms would you recommend for beginners wanting to try futures. I'm thinking of micro E - minis for a start

[@tanidasaksit1295]

Can I ask what exchange you are using to be able to trade futures in the US?

[@gg_trades]

A little confused w/ one thing. Say I enter a trade, hit my T/P or sell on my own, what if there is nobody to buy my contracts? Or does ts almost never happen? Thx bro

[@patrickhenry7416]

Futures are the best. The secret is getting out though haha

[@garyscott4339]

[@KenZen_QuestTv]
