There really are no sites I can think of on HOW to do it, trading them is just like trading anything else, chart wise. But the futures are affected even more by sentiment changes - and world news, bond and currency moves than stocks. Here's a site with a lot of the basics, there really are no "how to" websites out there that are any good. tfc-charts.w2d.com Before you start trading, I would use a simulator for awhile. PFGBest has a great one you can use free for 30 days, which is just like the real time interface. But even more worthwhile at their site -is this free CD, which is one of the best quick education on futures trading -and the risks of the high leverage - I've seen anywhere. pfgbest.com pfgbest.com A few sites to check out for great articles - and education - are these: trendvue.com mrci.com jimwyckoff.com Also I've archived a ton of trading articles posted here, written by some of the top traders. Subject 52196 Good luck! And just remember the two most important words in futures trading: risk management : )

steve, have you already been trading stocks and winning? if the answer is no, do not try to trade futures or you will lose your ass. you will also lose your ass trading stocks, but hopefully lose it a lot slower while you learn. if you haven't been trading stocks, start trading the qqq before you move to futures. once you know how to make money with the qqq, you can move to futures because it's practically the same thing, at least as far as the nq and nd are concerned.
