SSI, what markets/types of trading give the best return for a typical, successful trader? Assume that they are comfortable with high variance. I'm looking for another market apart from sports in case worthwhile opportunities dry up. Can't count on sports making enough to get me living off of 10%.

 

[SSI]

i trade and chart 10 of them.......

corn
wheat
beans
bean meal
bean oil

cattle
hogs

sugar
cocoa

emini sp 500


trade them in different ways as well............. futures trading, spread trading, option trading..... futures trading includes both position and shorter term trades......

there are opportunities everywhere, along with risks..........

just find which of the markets you prefer and learn all you can about them...
