I have been trading stocks and options for 10 years but I have never traded future. I would like to start to trade S&P and NASDAQ futures and Emini. Any good book or online free tutorial?

have you ever traded ETF's on the major indices ? example SPY , DIA , QQQQ , IWM ? or even options on the major ETF's with tight spreads ? those move like futures but with smaller leverage so if you make a mistake or freeze and cannot pull the trigger , the pain is less while learning

ok ... so looking back at your QQQQ and SPY trading ... was this daytrading , swingtrading or something else ?

Sounds like your seeking refuge from PDT.... NQ is like trading 800 QQQQ but off of NDX basis. ES is like trading 500 SPY but off of SPX basis.
I believe those sites include book lists and free stuff like contract specs. No fee based tutorials (at least that I saw)....
