elite with spreads and iron condors on news are both spread based trades but they are completely different strategies and dong the news will not help you trade elite on futures or spreads
YOu should honestly be able to practice the futures in a demo on your free demo you have using market reply without issue then it just a matter of choosing the spread. Focus on the system get the rules down - THEN - you can work on which option to pick.
If you want to do elite then do the above
if you want to do binaries - then you will need to change it up - looking at momentum scalps binares - apex trades with binaries, epc’s etc’s
futures you coudl do profit poppers but not on spreads to much of a scalp trade for night time and we use 4 minute bars often at night on elite if your doing elite apex entries at night -t he reality the market does not move much at night - has nothing to do with elite its just there are not consistently a lot of trends at night - so you need time based bars - hence boomerang, scalps, binary profit poppers, or futures where bid/ask premium etc… not an issue
[quote=stsmith927]I finished the elite courses, and I guess I’m struggling what I should do next. My ultimate goal is to daytrade for a living so my plan is to build my account up though the elite system on spreads to a point where I can transition to trading futures once I have enough in my account. I know I need to practice the Apex system on spreads in order to gain confidence, but of course the best way is the practice during the day when the market is open. But if course I work. I can practice using Iron Condors on news. Any advice?
I was thinking maybe I should practice the Apex system on binaries first, since there seems to be more opportunities with binaries at night (profit popper, etc.) but if I do that, then I feel I’m not focusing on spreads to get better at them and delaying the goal. Obviously, there are a lot of different trades that you could do, so I’m trying to narrow and focus in order to make progress. Any suggestions?[/quote]
