Hi All,
This is quite a subjective question as I myself have already found myself drawn to one trading area over another but im interested to get other opinions/thoughts!
The question being, "why do you trade what you trade?"
And by this I mean, especially for newbie traders (like myself), my hypothesis is"to give us the greatest chance of success we should all trade the most liquid market with the largest amount of readily available information - US large cap stocks/indices"! (please correct if experienced traders know a more liquid market with easily accessible information streams).
With less liquid markets are we not fighting an uphill battle against those large players who have the ability to manipulate the market (even if a few ticks at a time)? And with information at a premium in these markets it is it not those who know most that make the most?
It'll be interesting to get thoughts from newbies and experienced traders on the above hypothesis and why you trade what you trade.
