 Trading Commodity Futures Using Support and Resistance - Paper Trading |
|
You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to invest in the futures and options markets. Some of the simulators only allow you to trade the e-mini and others start you out with a $50,000 account. This is great if you want to trade the e-mini, or if you are trading with a $50,000 account, but this is not the case for most traders. Anyway, that's paper trading in a nutshell. Please do not hesitate to write back if you have more questions, of if you need me to elaborate on something.

| Selecting Rules for Investing and Trading |
|
Treasuries are considered the safest of all paper investments, being backed by the United States Government. When the stock is fairly priced, the instrument is sold unless one sees continuing growth in the value of the stock, in which case he moves it over into the investment category. There are many ways to enter this kind of investment. You should feel confident that the investment is reasonably safe. While long term investors may use only a single long term moving average with confidence to track steadily increasing value, traders use multiple indicators to deal with shorter time frames of oscillating value and higher risk.

| The Realities Of Market Timing |
|
This should be obvious, but market timing adds a layer of complication to investing, another opportunity to be right or wrong. Robert van Delden has been managing the FundSpectrum Group since 1998, whose objective it is to help individual investors to increase their investment returns using low risk Market Timing strategies. But all that changes when you begin timing your investments. Some investors entered those portfolios in the winter of 2002, and then were shocked to experience big first-quarter losses so quickly after they had invested. I believe that for most investors, the best route to success is to have somebody else make the actual timing moves for you.
