Well, If you want volatility, my daily trading service for Bond Futures has it, LOL! It does not however, have volatility that extreme, unless it is maxed out irresponsibly. With options you do risk the full amount, and hence get the big leverage. I only risk 5% at a time. The service is up 42% YTD, but has had some up’s and downs along the way. It has never been in the red, the volatility has been in giving some of the profits back here and there. It was up 54% a month ago, so gave some profit back in June.
I am not trying to push the service. I just am pointing out that futures trading has that kind of volatility every day. Every day, some market has a big move. As a trader, I love the swings we are getting in the S&P. Opportunities are great right now. The flat sideways markets are harder to trade than this type of environment is.
Options and futures are not for everyone, in spite of the medias love affair with Oil and Gold nowadays.
