Money Never Sleeps. And Your Money Should Not Sleep Either.

You may ask, why trade futures? What are the advantages of futures against the stocks? Stocks are trading on New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) only six and a half hours per day, from 9:30 AM till 4 PM.

On the other hand, futures are trading on Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) almost around the clock, so you can make profits even during Asian or European session, when America sleeps.

Using the leverage of low margin requirements on futures contracts, you can double your investment in futures at the same time when stocks give you only 5% profit.

Besides futures, there are options on futures. They can give you much more profit much faster.
