People are attracted to futures markets speculation after hearing stories about the amount of wealth that can be made trading futures. While there are success stories, there are also those who strive for the top, but never reach it.
Many of Bower Trading clients have achieved success in futures trading. The keys to their success are recognition of inherent risks, hard work, a disciplined approach, and a dedication to master their trades. We help get you started and maintain ongoing focus.
Scalpers, day traders, positional traders, and investors looking to diversify their portfolios should consider using commodities as a tool for return. We know each investor has a different degree of risk tolerance, but because of the higher degree of risk in the futures market, one should diversify no more than 5-8% of his risk capital in futures. Options are a different story.
