wld, i believe that few, if any, traders have ever been able to trade options successfully over a long period of time with annual gains at 100%+ level...it may be because of time decay of premiums or efficient real-time pricing using black-scholes...
otoh, futures are simply a leveraged version of index equities so in that sense they are somewhat like margined qqq or even profunds/rydex but with higher leverage and round-the-clock trading...the problem is clearly that higher leverage requires smaller positions and tighter stop losses...so the question is: is there any advantage to trading futures vs just trading margined qqq...
i am a bit skeptical here as far beating returns obtainable from trading qqq on margin...still, if anyone at all can trade futures successfully with high returns my bet would be on you given your systematic and creative approach to trading...
so we shall see how you compare with my four top qqq/profunds traders (and a trader named Trade Hard who also trades futures very successfully using someone else's system)...
good luck!
