Its a point based system. Stick to micros. The futures move with spy and qqq. Except its MES or MNQ. The ones who get burned by futures are playing too large with minis. Thats why they move fast. For instance you can gain or lose 2$ for every point MNQ goes up or down. Thats micros. The NQ is $20 per point. Hence the ones that say too fast Minis will blow up alot of accounts Micros are fine. If you can trade spy or qqq you can do fine with futures. Much better than options trading. No theta or decay to worry about.
