Traders must evolve with the market and this includes having to diversify the product/instrument that we trade.

Our focus during this session:

• Do we need to add an instrument or should we replace the one we already trade?
• What parameters can we define to select a new product to trade?
• Will a new product fit our risk profile and account size?
• What are some ways we can extract statistical information that will drive our decisions and approach?
• What are the steps to put together a set of setups or elements that will help us succeed with a new product?

Tune in to hear us discuss how moving to a new product can be a game-changer. We have the advantage of more and more micro/small products to choose from such as the Small Oil on SMFE (SMO), Micro-Crude (MCL), Micro-Bitcoin (MBT), Micro-DAX (FDXS) on Eurex and others. We believe exploring diversity in products has never been better for individual traders.
