Join Sam Seiden as he speaks about trading futures.

He explains: I have been trading futures for around 15 years. When speaking to people about trading and investing today, I still find that many people still think of futures speculating as high risk wild west gun slinging and this could not be further from the truth. The truth is, in many ways, these are the lowest risk markets in the world and really do make the most sense for many people looking to get involved in market speculation.

1) The Tax Break: There is a major tax break when you trade futures. It is the 60/40 long term capital gains benefit which is much more attractive than stock trading. This makes a big difference and is something many people simply don't know.

2) Leverage: Futures offer incredible leverage. Many people think that they need to get involved in options to attain big leverage. The futures markets offer much more leverage than stocks or options do. If you think this means high risk, think again. If you use protective stops, these markets become some of the lowest risk markets in the world because in the high volume/liquid futures markets, you are more likely for your stop to get filled where you want than you are in stock trading.

3) Futures are Low Risk: When trading stocks, each day we can find stocks gapping double digit percentage points on the open. If it is a gap in your favor that's great but if it is not, your trading or investment account can be ruined. When trading the high volume/liquid futures markets, gaps like this don't happen. While there is always the risk that a major gap can happen in any market, can you imagine a 10% gap in the 30 Year Bond, the S&P, the 10 Year Note, and many more?? There are some futures markets that don't have much volume and gap sometimes but we don't trade those.

4) Non-Correlated Market Opportunity: For me, the most important reason to get involved in the futures markets is the fact that these are the only markets in the world that offer Non-Correlated Opportunity. Join Sam as he explains the above and more in detail.
