Frequently Asked Questions Top

A futures proprietary trading firm (prop firm) provides capital for qualified traders to trade with. Instead of risking your own money, you pass an evaluation process to prove your trading skills, and then the firm provides you with their capital to trade. You receive a percentage of the profits (typically 70-90%), while the firm takes the rest and covers all losses.

Most prop firm evaluations require you to reach a profit target (usually 8-10% of account value) while adhering to maximum drawdown limits (often 5-10%). The key is consistent risk management, avoiding overtrading, and using proven strategies like those I show in my livestreams. Patience and discipline are crucial - focus on making quality trades rather than rushing to hit the profit target.

The E-mini S&P 500 (ES) and Micro E-mini S&P 500 (MES) are ideal for beginners due to their liquidity, reasonable volatility, and smaller capital requirements (especially for MES). The MES contract is 1/10th the size of ES, making it perfect for new traders to learn with lower risk. NQ (Nasdaq) futures have higher volatility and require more experience, while Treasury futures (ZB, ZN) are less volatile but require understanding of interest rate dynamics.

For US index futures (ES, NQ), the most active and liquid hours are from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM ET (market open) and 3:00 PM to 4:15 PM ET (market close). These periods typically offer the best opportunities for day traders and scalpers. For overnight traders, the European session open (2:00 AM - 5:00 AM ET) can also provide good volatility. I recommend avoiding the mid-day lull (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET) when markets often range with lower volume.

THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING FUTURES, OPTIONS AND COMMODITIES CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL. YOU SHOULD THEREFORE CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER SUCH TRADING IS SUITABLE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION. IN CONSIDERING WHETHER TO TRADE OR TO AUTHORIZE SOMEONE ELSE TO TRADE FOR YOU, YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING:

IF YOU PURCHASE A COMMODITY OR EQUITY INDEX EXCHANGE OPTION, YOU MAY SUSTAIN A TOTAL LOSS OF THE PREMIUM AND OF ALL TRANSACTION COSTS.

IF YOU PURCHASE OR SELL A COMMODITY FUTURE OR SELL A COMMODITY OPTION, OR IF YOU PURCHASE OR SELL AN EQUITY INDEX EXCHANGE FUTURE OR SELL AN EQUITY INDEX EXCHANGE OPTION YOU MAY SUSTAIN A TOTAL LOSS OF THE INITIAL MARGIN FUNDS AND ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDS THAT YOU DEPOSIT WITH YOUR BROKER TO ESTABLISH OR MAINTAIN YOUR POSITION. IF THE MARKET MOVES AGAINST YOUR POSITION, YOU MAY BE CALLED UPON BY YOUR BROKER TO DEPOSIT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF ADDITIONAL MARGIN FUNDS, ON SHORT NOTICE, IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN YOUR POSITION. IF YOU DO NOT PROVIDE THE REQUESTED FUNDS WITHIN THE PRESCRIBED TIME, YOUR POSITION MAY BE LIQUIDATED AT A LOSS, AND YOU WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY RESULTING DEFICIT IN YOUR ACCOUNT.

UNDER CERTAIN MARKET CONDITIONS, YOU MAY FIND IT DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO LIQUIDATE A POSITION. THIS CAN OCCUR, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN THE MARKET MAKES A "LIMIT MOVE".

AEROMIR CORPORATION SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR THE ACCURACY OF, OR FOR DELAYS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED TO TRADE ALERT SUBSCRIBERS. AEROMIR CORPORATION SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES, WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT, WHETHER LOST PROFITS, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF THE SUBSCRIBER OR ANY OTHER PERSON SEEKING RELIEF THROUGH SUBSCRIBER, EVEN IF AEROMIR CORPORATION HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL THE LIABILITY OF AEROMIR CORPORATION TO SUBSCRIBERS OR ANY OTHER PERSON SEEKING RELIEF THROUGH SUBSCRIBER PURSUANT TO ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE FEE PAID BY SUBSCRIBER OR ANY OTHER PERSON SEEKING RELIEF THROUGH SUBSCRIBER, AS APPLICABLE.

THE PLACEMENT OF CONTINGENT ORDERS BY YOU OR YOUR TRADING ADVISOR, SUCH AS A �STOP-LOSS OR "STOP-LIMIT" ORDER, WILL NOT NECESSARILY LIMIT YOUR LOSSES TO THE INTENDED AMOUNTS, SINCE MARKET CONDITIONS MAY MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO EXECUTE SUCH ORDERS.

A "SPREAD" POSITION MAY NOT BE LESS RISKY THAN A SIMPLE "LONG" OR "SHORT" POSITION.

THE HIGH DEGREE OF LEVERAGE THAT IS OFTEN OBTAINABLE IN COMMODITY OR EQUITY INDEX EXCHANGE TRADING CAN WORK AGAINST YOU AS WELL AS FOR YOU. THE USE OF LEVERAGE CAN LEAD TO LARGE LOSSES AS WELL AS GAINS.

IN SOME CASES, MANAGED COMMODITY ACCOUNTS ARE SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL CHARGES FOR MANAGEMENT AND ADVISORY FEES. IT MAY BE NECESSARY FOR THOSE ACCOUNTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THESE CHARGES TO MAKE SUBSTANTIAL TRADING PROFITS TO AVOID DEPLETION OR EXHAUSTION OF THEIR ASSETS. THIS DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT CONTAINS ON PAGES 13 - 14. A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF EACH FEE TO BE CHARGED TO YOUR ACCOUNT BY THE COMMODITY TRADING ADVISOR.

THIS BRIEF STATEMENT CANNOT DISCLOSE ALL THE RISKS AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT ASPECTS OF THE COMMODITY MARKETS. YOU SHOULD THEREFORE CAREFULLY STUDY THE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT AND COMMODITY AND EQUITY INDEX EXCHANGE TRADING BEFORE YOU TRADE, INCLUDING THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS OF THIS INVESTMENT, AT PAGES 16 - 18.

THIS COMMODITY TRADING ADVISOR IS PROHIBITED BY LAW FROM ACCEPTING FUNDS IN THE TRADING ADVISORS NAME FROM A CUSTOMER FOR TRADING COMMODITY INTERESTS. YOU MUST PLACE ALL FUNDS FOR TRADING IN THIS TRADING PROGRAM DIRECTLY WITH A FUTURES COMMISSION MERCHANT OR INTRODUCING BROKER. THE COMMODITIES TRADING FUTURES COMMISSION HAS NOT PASSED UPON THE MERITS OF PARTICIPATING IN A PARTICULAR INVESTMENT OR ON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT.
