Anyone care to help out a newbie? I've daytraded for about 2.5 years successfully, but am now considering moving to trading nasdaq 100 futures. I looked for answers to my questions in the history of the thread but it's hard to sort through the fluff. Here's some questions: Who's a good broker? The most important factor to me is fast online executions, preferably through the broker's proprietary software (not html based). Is there much of a difference between brokers? How fast can I expect executions to be? I currently use CyberTrader and am used to instant fills from ecn's. My impression is that executions will take 3-4 seconds for futures. My style is geared towards scalping fast moving stocks, and I would like to be able to transfer this method to futures. Is it possible, or are most futures traders going for bigger swings? How many trades per day does the average futures trader make? That's enough for now. I would really appreciate any help with the basics. Also, please feel free to contact me by email at dust247@aol.com. Thanks, Dustin
