Many of the commodities markets are involved in day trading, including futures contracts, options, currencies and stocks. Some of the more popular markets for day trading are:

• Currency markets for Forex trade. (US dollar to British pound, euro to Swiss franc)
• Options contracts on futures.
• Futures based on stock indexes (S&P 500 Emini, NASDAQ 100)
• Futures based on commodities trading (corn, soybeans, crude oil)
If you noticed that the mention of stock trading was limited to index based commodities that is because the US Securities and Exchange Commission has restricted day trading of US stocks. Only day trading on the various indexes is allowed.Countinue on next page
