The One Change That Finally Made My Friends Profitable Trading Futures

Reddit R/FuturesTrading | neutral | Published: 15:38 Sep 04, 2026 (Eastern)

An author sharing advice on futures trading discusses helping three friends who struggled to become profitable despite receiving guidance on entries, exits, risk management, and trade timing. The author notes that two of the friends achieved significantly better results after shifting from low intraday broker margins to trading only the number of contracts fully covered by the actual CME margin. This change eliminated excessive leverage, reduced panic over small market movements, and allowed them to properly follow their trades.

Noahpinion | neutral | Published: 03:36 Sep 05, 2026 (Eastern)

The article discusses the U.S.-China competition in artificial intelligence, emphasizing the military and geopolitical implications of AI superiority, particularly regarding cybersecurity and the balance of power.

Ultimately, the article concludes that the U.S. maintains its lead in the AI race through better models, greater compute resources, and higher revenue, though potential policy missteps could risk this advantage.
