The Reward of Futures

Beginner dream of fat profits, margin themselves to the hilt, and get kicked out of the futures game by the first wiggle that goes against them. Their long-term analysis may be right and gold may rise to its target price, but the beginner is doomed because he commits too much of his equity and has very thin reserves. Futures do not kill traders - poor money management kills traders

Futures can be very attractive for those who have strong money management skills. They promise high rates of return but demand ice-cold discipline. when you first approach trading, you are better off with slower-moving stocks. Once you have matured as a trader, take a look at futures. They may be right for you if you are very disciplined.
