Where to begin with futures??

Quote from JoeF716:

I have been trading stock for a while now, mainly options, and I have become pretty interested in futures. However, I have no idea where to start. Anybody have any ideas?

You traded index (ETF) futures?
If so, no problem, as the movement of the index futures is the same of index ETFs, less the time decay.
First calculate how much net leverage you had with options, and have about the same leverage (leaving additional cash, beyond initial margin, to reduce net leverage).

If you traded stock options, stick to them. Single stock futures often have poor liquidity, and are not available for most stocks.

Mr. Batman,
As others have intimated, your responses were much more indicative of an issue on your end than on that of the Op's... While he probably could have spent some add'l time with the search function, his rationale for posting was in line with the board's purpose. Otoh, your response was rude & completely inappropriate. While there are periodically posters who are deserving of an educational tirade, this op was not one of them ....

hey now he asked a legit question. all he needs is to be pointed in the right direction.
 
Set up a practice trading account and practice trading futures for 4 months before you do it for real.

I can understand Batman's sentiment, though not his language. Anyone who intends to embark on a potential career path (via a different instrument/methodology), he should make the time and effort to find out all the pertinent information himself. After doing that, and ONLY after doing that if he still has questions, he can ask. This lind of laziness, mindset of entitlement of asking others without doing any homework first is inexcusable and should not be tolerated!

Do us a favor and learn to ignore threads if they bother you that much. You have serious anger management issues.

Everybody learns something and he has the right to these questions just as much as you did when you started.
