How did you learn to trade futures?

  1. Just jump into it with a simulation account at Interactive Brokers or anywhere else legit. See how you do after about 100 trades. Start with the markets you are familiar with like the S&P. The actual trading isn't really much different that trading SPY, just more leveraged and you have to know the correct front month (currently June). When you are ready to start with money just trade 1 contract until you can make a solid profit and increase very slowly. Beware of obvious stop levels being constantly targeted by the bots and spend hours staring at charts. Good luck
