Dow Futures

The Dow Jones index is one of the most watched indices in the markets. It exerts more influence on investors and traders than any other index

The Dow Jones index is well known for determining investor sentiment, at every level we hear about the Dow Jones in the news, the psychological level of 10,000, the expected highs and lows of his index. Trading the Dow Jones futures does have some advantages over other indices and is more suitable for some specific trading techniques:

The Dow Jones always lags behind Nasdaq, so Nasdaq can be used as an indicator
This lagging effect comes and goes as markets reach short term highs and lows, often providing good entry points and more room for movement than the leading Nasdaq
The Dow Jones index can be traded using technical analysis, easier to understand than Nasdaq
Nasdaq market has a tendency to create gaps more than ay other market, this can be confusing, whereas the Dow Jones trades much more smoothly
No stop slippage due to gap opens, as they don’t occur almost at all

Really all markets are profitable if traded the right way, the only problem of course is that other indices that trade more wildly than the Dow Jones will require bigger stop loss orders. You could say that the Dow Futures are more suitable for beginners in trading as they are more tradable and more manageable psychologically. The profitability of these markets is more than enough to allow for triple digit annual gains. There’s many great traders who started their careers trading Dow futures contracts and other E-mini contracts, always going from long term to short term trading, and down to daytrading.

The risks are more predictable with Dow futures and certainly it is much less of a surprise when something bad happens, the tricky part is to place the right size stop loss orders. The risk is always there but so is profit potential, and what comes after a well prepared trading session. The good thing is that this market is more manageable compared to S&P or Nasdaq.
