I want to become a pro-trader so I find some commodity seminars, future trading seminars, options trading courses that will give me the trading mindset of being a pro-trader.

I am looking for a good ECN broker, that is best for trading futures. (Specifically CME)
At the moment, I’m only interested investing ,000 - ,000.

Originally, I was going to go with MB trader, but I read a few reviews that put me back in the hunt for a different broker.

I was viewing TradeStation, or possibly OptionExpress.

Helpful advice from people with experience with the brokers I mentioned, or anybody who has any other ones in mind is greatly appreciated.

Thank-you very much.

There is different brokorage for different brokers house. It is requested to mention on what basis the brokarage fees are taken for futures / option etc. Whether it is based on number of lots or amount of trading. Please also suggest whether local sub brokers are more cheap than others. Is it easy to trade in on line for futures. What are the best on line brokers for the purpose. I expect your valuable response on the same. Thank U.

eSignal has a whole list of "partners", but I want to find who is fastest at executing E-Mini trades.

Has (Does?) options-trading (futures) affected the stock market? Is there any positive or negative impact of trading options directly or indirectly on the trading of stocks?

Not that I’m not trying to understand what is options trading - I am trying to find out if there has been any study on the impact of futures trading on a stock market on a general scale.

my friend founded security service, its just opened. I don’t have job at this moment, so he offered me to be like one of his agent (or maybe it is called broker) and find some companies that need this security service, I don’t have any experience in this field so I’m kind of confused, and shy, I don’t know how to ask those companies if they need our service, but I have ideas to whom I can offer it, there are lots of building companies and hotels that ‘re going to be finished very soon in the future and etc. so I need ur advise about how to offer it and some agent habit advises.

I am currently trading on equities but would like to understand more on futures.

I am 14 years old and in 9th grade. I know I am pretty young to be thinking about jobs but our teachers always ask us if we have any Idea of what we want to do. I want to be a Real Estate Broker. I would have to get some training after high school and go to OREA (Ontario Real Estate Association). My mom and dad have a really good friend who is a Real Estate Broker and she makes 0,000 + per year. What I wanted to know was:

1. What are some good things about being a Real Estate Broker.

2. If you happen to be or know a Real Estate Broker, on average how much do you/they make.

3. How long is the training, I want to start at OREA right after high school and start my career fairly fast.

Thanks for answering these, I know that I am pretty young to be thinking about what I want to do for a future career but your never to young to start looking at the possibilities.

My grandfather owns a successful company that manufactures and imports furniture from China. The business has made hima millionaire (not that that means anything in this day and age). But this is my question: when I "grow up", should I learn this business and then continue it? Does the furniture trade with China have a promising future?
I always hear people talk about how we should reduce trade with China, so would a reduction of trade with China hurt the business (if it were to happen while I owned it)?
