HI quick question When you have a small account let’s say 3k do you get your buy power back immediately after you close a futures trading position or do you have to wait until the next day like option contracts?
How to simply place a Buy Call or Sell Put using Active Trader when trading /ES for example. The method should be the same for Sell Calls and Buy Puts.
Thank you SOOOO much for this vid! I've been in the markets for years now, but pretty new to TOS and brand new to futures, the info you give in here is invaluable to me
I've traded stocks & options for years and have been interested in futures for a while but have no idea how to get started. Seems like so many new things to learn, new analysis, market news to look for, technicals, etc.
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

Super Video on the subject. Looking forward to seeing the other Videos of Futures Trading using TOS. I'd like to know when you place the trade before Sending it, is there some way to see "Max Loss" and "Max Profit" as you can with TOS when trading Options. Thanks!
Hello Shorthestrike, Hey I have one ? how can I use Trailing stop on futures contracts please. I know that you spoke about that in the past but I can't find that video.

Thank you! I notice you are using paper money. I discover the buying power showed in paper money is about half in live trade. The /ES initial margin in live trading mode is $20,720 instead of $11,000. Is this the same for everyone or its some setting I need to adjust for my thinkorswim account?

Question, how do you feel about the fees to trade futures with TD? I'm trying to decide if it's really worth it. Leaning towards it's not. Pretty much all of the competition has lower round trip fees, some are much lower. Sucks because TOS is what I've been using to trade options for a while now,. Think I'm gonna go with tradovate, and use ToS charts so it'll be cool if you can cover that platform in the...future.
They’re way more expensive then everyone else, but I don’t trade enough contracts where it really has an impact on me. Plus I like 99% of everything else on there, so it really doesn’t make sense for me to move any real money over just for futures. But they’re definitely wayyy more expensive than everyone else
Your initial margin requirements are lower than what mine shows on TOS.. Do they have different amounts for different people..? Looks like it.. My /MYM is $ 1300... yours is $825.00
I have a small account on Thinkorswim, how much is required for micro futures? I tried to do micro futures for the SP500 and gold with over $1,000 in my account and it keeps saying I don’t have enough buying power
would we be able to make this type of layout for futures on ibkr? i like tos but the commissions per contract is expensive. looking to change over to ibkr but the broker/layout is a bit difficult to navigate. any info would be great. but as always great video!
Is that really the commission for a mini ? Also is there a broker you would recommend to trade futures with low commissions? I mainly trade forex on Oanda and want to get into futures because I want to trade gold

Why isn't "futures" in my studies in TOS?
Do you need a margin account to trade futures?

where is the custom script for the studies tab? thanks
Here's the prompt I used in ChatGPT to write the script, "Write a thinkscript that will show the tick size, tick value, delta, and notational risk."
How To add the futures tab to see your risk at the top yellow bar. it no long says futures
Do futures work the same as option in terms of Buy to Open to cap risk? vs selling to open? It sounds like I have to "sell" to go short with options.
Excellent tutorial, thanks!
do you pay double the commission when opening and closing those contracts?
I’m wondering how to set up stop loss because I didn’t see that in the video.
TOS is too expensive for Futures trading
I downloaded your script but it was only "FuturesNotational" not "Futures" is this going to be a problem?
can i paper trade futures against live data with think or swim? micros trade almost 24/7 so will i have access to papertrade 24/7?
Did you do this vid on TOS in the Live trading side of TOS or did you do it on the Paper trading side of TOS?

@@shortthestrike that's how I'm feeling about it as well. Great tutorial, and thanks for the reply.
Other platforms you have to pay for data monthly,and other features, that the ToS have for free, so I guess that's where it's supposed to even out.
I dont have the futures study. Can you point me in the right direction?

How do u set up the green-red volume candlesticks

Excellent video. Thank You
Where i the script to upload?
Why is tos commission/contract fees so expensive compared to other platforms??
never heard of futures.. looks interesting.
Just be careful, super leveraged. So learn as much as possible before diving in and start small
Thank you !!!
i like the information you give
Your initial margin requirements are lower than what mine shows on TOS.. Do they have different amounts for different people..? Looks like it.. My /MYM is $ 1300... yours is $825.00
Where is the tick size program?
Can you do one on the options on future contracts. Thanks
Yes, absolutely!
Where is the customized script?
IWhat is the differnece between Futures and FuturesNotional? thx
Essentially the same, I just had two different colors and abbreviated the label to make it smaller
Do the Greeks still play a role in future option trading ?
no
how much is a contract of /es on TOS? and how long is the cash settlement for it? thanks
I believe the initial margin req is about $15,000 right now. Intra-day being about half of that
I have a small account on Thinkorswim, how much is required for micro futures? I tried to do micro futures for the SP500 and gold with over $1,000 in my account and it keeps saying I don’t have enough buying power
Awesome lesson! Thank you for your work
Very good video
Thank you
Showed no Futures in studies ?
Can you trade futures unlimited with cash account?
yes

Commissions are to high
Is that really the commission for a mini ? Also is there a broker you would recommend to trade futures with low commissions?
I mainly trade forex on Oanda and want to get into futures because I want to trade gold
The fact that you aren’t minimizing the watch list on the left is driving me crazy lol
the margin on Tos futures Sucks.... it is beyond rediculous
Yeah, it's been crazy high for about two years now
LOL almost sounds like you dont advise trading futures!
most annoying amount of ads i've ever seen
Sorry about that
