Futures: How To Choose A Safe Broker?

Hi, I am very interested in trading the e-minis but don't know the first thing about it. I have only traded stocks and options but wish to get in some of the crazy futures I've been hearing about playing futures. I'm totally happy with my broker now but they don't do futures. So I am looking to open a side account to play the e-mini game. Who do you recommend for quality price and high leverage?

THanks in advance.

Dear friends,

I have realized that there are so many firms offering futures trading, that makes me confused.

Some people tell not to trade with firms that are not associated with the NFA, other tell me a different association. Some people tell that the clearing firm is what matters.... So, what does "really" matters?

What associations a firm should have to be considered a "SAFE" one?

Is there a list of firms that are associated with the NFA or other important association?

Looking forward to hear your opinions.

Regards

Raphael
