I was looking for a good futures trading platform to trade on that doesnt expire after just a couple weeks, but more like a couple months because I want to mess around with some options strategies.

I would like to learn on my own. Are there any free sites or good books that would include the ticker symbols so that I can virtual trade them for practice? Also, I am level four in trading options in my IRA account. Can options on futures be traded in an IRA account? Thanks!

When I was in US i were trading on ICE Futures U.S, but I moved to Australia recently. So now I’m also looking for a on-line broker in the futures, options… Any ideas?

I am a novice trader of the futures market. In particular, the e-mini Russell 2000 because of its liquidity, low investment, and high potential gain. I have been trying to achieve a reliable and consistent strategy to pull even just a few points out of the market a week. My results thus far have been weak. I have had some gains, but my losses slowly eat away these gains and then some. Consequently, I see my account slowly decreasing. Does anybody that reads these things trade futures and have any advice or a decent strategy on how to consistently gain a few points a week in the futures market? Thanks in advance.

I want to start as a commodity trader. I need futures and trading recommendations to have stable steps. Where can I get advices on futures trading commodities?

Does anyone here trade futures e.g. mini Dow (YM), and if so, are you profitable?

DJ, S&P, Nasdaq futures, how long does it trade after the mkt closes at 4pmEST?
