    I'm looking to trade Dow minis and Nasdaq futures, what are some good firms you guys recommend to open an account with?

    Also, where is a good place I can learn more about index futures trading. Books? Web sites?

    I'm a newbie at this, but actively trade other instruments.

    Thank you.
     
  2. hello sir

    have you tried trading ETF's like

    DIA , SPY , QQQQ . IWM ?

    if you do not have success with those
    there is no way you will be successful with
    stock index futures

    Lots to pick from. A couple I can recommend are

    http://www.cannontrading.com/home/
    aka e-futures.com. That's "e dash futures"

    http://www.dormantrading.com/

    And there are many more!!

    Somewhere here in ET there are links to check nfa compliance and clearing firm financials. A good thing to do regardless of who you choose.
