NOT because it's difficult, but because I took notes, paused during the quiz parts (which was fun) and want to make sure I understand everything. Especially since I'm JUST learning about Futures Contract. I agree with you, that even though the broker will do the calculations it is best to understand and know the 'process' of what is what and how it's figured out. THANK YOU for sharing these videos. I'm going to nerd it out a bit and go over my notes and practice some of my own 'practicing' and then jump into Class 3! Time WELL spent this weekend.

    Clay, this is fantastic. I reviewed a few videos on Futures trading and they all went over my head because I am a beginner and know nothing about futures. Your video is what is needed for someone like me and there are millions like me out there.

    I am a very skeptical (In a healthy way) person and I look hard at anyone from a business point of view. You are by far the best teacher that I have come across on RUclips. Thanks for the videos and content. Liked and Subscribed.

    Thanks Clay, I have not yet traded futures and will watch all lessons before I dip my toe in. You present it in an informative way and with zero guarantees. Very professional
