Fastest Way to Trade Futures on ThinkorSwim

Today we’ll be diving into the thinkorswim platform to learn the fastest ways to trade in and out of your futures contracts. Futures are certainly not for everyone, and honestly the majority of you watching this probably shouldn’t even be considering it. They’re are incredibly leveraged, are not standardized from one to the next, and have specific dates they expire, meaning you can yourself in a lot of trouble if you’re not being careful. Today we'll go over the active trader and how it can be used to place your trades much more quickly. We'll also be adding a futures script to quickly view the futures tick size, tick value, and notional risk.
