Default Re: Online Futures

Hey mate,

I'm a futures trader by profession.

Check out:

Interactive Brokers www.interactivebrokers.com
Velocity Futures www.velocityfutures.com

These two are great brokers. If you want to trade on the CME, CBOT or Eurex then the X-Trader platform which Velocity offers is the best software available.

IB offers more exchanges as well as Forex, stocks etc.

You need to be 21 to open a futures account with IB.

For "analytic services" you can use a charting program which grabs the information from the IB datafeed (I forget what this program is called, check elitetrader) or you can use something like ESignal or CQG which are great charting packages, expensive though.

For a cheap Eurex charting software check out Pro Real Time.

I rambled, but I hope this helps. PM me if you need any more info.
