How I trade futures with MarketClub

In March, I asked members how they used MarketClub and among the responses was a strategy from Loic, a futures trader out of Marseille, France. Loic was already trading futures before MarketClub came along and had developed a portfolio using our parent site, INO.com, along with a technical strategy that he had already developed. A couple years ago, Loic decided to give MarketClub a try and has been a member ever since.

This Friday, you will have the opportunity to see for yourself how Loic uses MarketClub to trade markets such as coffee, cattle, Japanese yen, and soybeans, among many others, as well as ask questions about his strategy. At MarketClub we try to provide trading knowledge from as many viewpoints as possible, so even if you're not a futures trader, you may learn a new trick or two to add to your trading arsenal.

Space is limited so we encourage you to register and reserve a seat for this webinar today:

However this was not enough to offset losses incurred in the GLD which tracks gold and the USO ETF which tracks the crude oil market. Combined losses in these markets were large enough to wipe away any gains for the quarter.
