But.. I trade FX.. I used to trade futures. I just don't trade FX the same way as you. I think one of the beautiful things about FX is it really doesn't matter how you trade - breakout, scalp, trend line, MA crossover, price action, renko, heiken ashi, fundamental etc. For example, I use FA and hold mid-long term. You're a TA master and lock in pips intraday. That's why I laugh when I see people on other forums arguing over strategies.. the best advice - study the charts and find something that works for you.
Futures traders primarily trade indices and interest futures. But, a lot even trade fx.. only difference is they're trading one single currency - the Euro, pound, dollar etc, but not many trade currency crosses like we do.
I could blabber on about my thoughts on different trading vehicles but I feel like people already cringe when they see another lengthy, blabbering post from davenz
