    Really enjoying these man, most of these RUclips traders give no market or economics background, no info on what your expenses will be or what to be prepared for... Or things to be wary of... They just jump right into what trades to take and how much they profit while shouting at you to slow down and not rush in because you shouldn't expect to make any money anytime soon...i've already learned several little facts from you that I didn't know that could have cost me a lot of money. All good stuff man thank you and keep them coming!

    Wow! This was very confusing adding in the swing trade, good information though, need to let it sink in.

    • @claytrader
      @claytrader  4 года назад

      What about it was confusing? If you choose to do a swing trade, you are taking on more risk, therefore, more money is required upfront.

    • @sjmillercreates
      @sjmillercreates 4 года назад +1

      ClayTrader Thanks for response....Coming from learning options trading, Im learning you don’t have to use margin account. But with futures are you saying that the margin is automatically a part of the account? Confusing in that it’s new and a lot to take in in the beginning, not that you were confusing😊.

    • @claytrader
      @claytrader  4 года назад +2

      Yup, in the world of futures, you have to have a margin account.
