its a little tougher with UPRO or SPXU because in lighter volume
the spreads can be wider. SSO has tight spreads. Trade 1000
shares and a penny move is ten dollars. Nice thing about using ETFs
is you can scale out, take some profit and leave a runner, without
trading multiple futures contracts.................
No, I watch the cash charts of te Dow & S&P and then
trade on the CFD market. Trade only during the time the US
markets are open and never keep a position over night!
Started trading only one contract at a time until I could
consistendly beat the market and then started trading more
contracts. If you can be succesfull at one contract then 5,10 or
more makes no difference but then you must be dissiplined.
