Important note: I will soon be providing full-service brokerage to new and experienced futures traders. I specialize in helping people grow their trading account, technical analysis, brokerage service and software development. This site will soon be redirected to my new domain, where you will have full access to my services.
ABC Futures is a site for futures traders, and those interested in futures trading, to exchange ideas about futures trading. The focus of ABC Futures is on technical analysis and black-box trading. However, in order to trade commodity futures, you will first need to open an account with a futures commission merchant (FCM). ABC Futures will help you set up a relationship with a commodity broker that is an ideal match for you.
Futures trading is highly rewarding for a variety of reasons - a successful futures trader is self employed, barriers to entry are minimal, overhead is extremely low and profit potential is extremely high. You and only you can prevent yourself from achieving success as a futures trader.
Many people dream about being professional athletes, musicians, doctors, lawyers or real-estate tycoons; but for a variety of reasons, achieving success in these areas is often prohibitive.
With a certain level of hard work, discipline, self control and devotion, it is very possible to become a successful commodity futures trader. Futures trading offers enormous profit potential, the ability to be your own boss, minimal barriers to entry and is extremely rewarding. This site is dedicated to helping individuals succeed in the business of Commodity Futures Trading.
For me, one of the most rewarding parts of this site is the category where we share interesting “tricks” or techniques used to make money trading futures. The success of these techniques can be validated using common programming languages such as Visual Basic or C Sharp (C#). ABC Futures offers Software Solutions for your trading ideas, as such solutions are an excellent way to test, hone and optimize your trading ideas.
We hope you enjoy this site and that it helps you achieve the financial success you desire.
Your input, comments, feedback and suggestions will continue to make ABC Futures an excellent forum for individuals to trade ideas about futures trading.
Please interact with this site by posting thoughts, questions and comments.

You refer to programming - do you need a degree in computer science to test a system, or can I use Excel or Visual Basic to do some basic analysis?

You do not need a sophisticated programing background to test your systems.
However, you do need basic programming techniques to validate your systems. Specifically, you need to know how to “debug” your programs.
To “debug” a program means to address technical problems, or “bugs”, that are unintentionally introduced to the logic of your software program.

The short answer is yes. Note - highly illiquid markets may introduce slippage and alter performance results. Also, some markets have a “personality” of their own; but in summary, if you are a technician, then you do not care about fundamental news. Therefore, it’s my belief that a solid system, with good money management principles, will work in any futures market.
In fact, this may even apply to other markets - for example, I plotted seat prices for Board Of Trade Membership. The IDEM seat rallied to around 140,000. When it came back down, it held at a key Fibonacci level (.618) and then rallied.
