Futures & Options Paper Trading
Are you a beginner who wants to learn how to trade futures and options?
Do you have a trading system that you want to test? Maybe you want to see how good are your "gut instincts" for
trading the markets. In each case, it's a good idea to paper trade first.
Paper trading is without doubt the #1 recommended educational tool. The time and money spent is well worth it!
Beginning traders sometimes lose a lot of money because of improper order usage; for example,
using a limit order instead of a stop order, or buying a put option to close a long call option instead of correctly selling
a call option. It's best to first sharpen these skills in a paper trading account.
The best type of paper trading account for a beginner is one in which they can speak personally
to a futures professional. Speaking with a professional makes learning easier - and faster - and the
relationship that you build can continue should you decide to trade for real.
We have conducted an extensive, industry-wide search and believes that the best paper trading program for
beginners is that provided by the Futures Training Division of Alaron.
