Futures

[Doughboy]

Can you guys tell me what a good site is for futures. The Dow and Nasdaq is what I am looking for. Thanks in advance.

Hello Doughboy here are some links that might help you; will post more later, some I use and others were suggested to me.

I do not actively play futures at this time, bonds, stocks, and options are what I concentrate on at present. Played coffee futures in 1999, was making 15% a month on the money invested sometimes 25%, anyways in one week lost 4 months of profits and $7500 US. So now just study them, use to play coffee, lumber, natural gas, never played the market indexes but probably will in the future.

very important to have stops while trading futures, thought placed them with a broker but he never put them in; expensive mistake, at least for me. good luck
