Contract Ladder Strategy
While learning several profit strategies we also considered the Futures Indices contracts. You learned a secret strategy that I personally developed called a Contract Ladder. This is a strategy designed to limit your losses as a beginner trader. As you expand from simulation trading and enter the real markets you will start by trading Micro and E-Mini contracts for the Dow Jones and S&P500.
As you get more comfortable and confident trading these low-risk markets you can then increase your contract size or advance to a more valuable futures contract. Below is an example of a Contract Ladder. You will be able to use this to design your own Contract Ladder Strategy when you are ready.
