CTCR E-Letter,
More About Trading Futures:
I
made the rather strong statement in an article on this site recently when I told
a prospective futures traders not to even start. I tell nearly everyone not to
trade futures. It's simply too hard.
I got an interesting note back from a
floor trader at the CBOT commenting on my discussion. Here's what he said:
Mr.
Smith,
I've had the good fortune to read your newsletter on occasion, and
commend you for your candor on trading systems. I am a local at the CBOT but previous
to this have traded from off the floor for 15 years, and have even managed money.
I am thrilled that you advise people against trading futures even though if affects
my livelihood negatively. Although I do not believe there is any magical trading
system out there I know there is a way to consistently take money out of the futures
market. Usually the system vendor or guru leaves out some important item in the
mix. I have personally seen over 75% of what's out there, and most of it is just
a rehash of older material stolen from someone else. I am certain and without
a doubt I can teach better trading techniques than are available out there. There
seems to be more profit in selling trading secrets than in trading commodities.
I will admit some of the stuff out there works but the risk and the slippage are
underscored by the claim of huge profits. When I traded off the floor I was always
upset about my slippage and order execution. Now that I am on the floor I firmly
believe that everyone who trades commodities should have to spend one hour on
the floor to see what goes on. They would never again complain and would just
be happy that their one lots even get filled at all. Just make sure you inform
your readers that the phrase "past performances are not indicative of future results"
means we tweaked the shit out of it in backtesting and you don't stand a chance
of achieving the same performance. Also should you wish to print all or any of
this letter please withhold my name.
Thanx
