I have not traded futures as of yet. I am looking to find a niche to concentrate on and learn everything about. I am interested in yield curve plays as well as some of the physical commodities. Thanks for the info, now it's time to start saving up and studying!

I know this is a very vague and dependant question but... I've been looking to start trading interest rate and bond futures and I was wondering what a good starting point would be as far as account funding. I am a college student and obviously don't have a lot to put in but I'm not even...
