Futures Algo Trading:

Since Enlightened Stock Trading focuses on stocks and cryptocurrency trading, that leaves a gap if you want to trade futures. I have looked at many courses and if you want to learn how to trade futures, commodities and currencies algorithmically then I recommend you take ‘The Strategy Factory’ course by Kevin Davey. I have taken the course and it is excellent. Kevin teaches concepts that are very similar to my own approach, but focused on intraday and short term Futures trading. Kevin is an outstanding trader and a great teacher and I have no hesitation in recommending The Strategy Factory as a fantastic course if you want to learn Algorithmic Futures Trading.
