Ok, so I am wanting to learn about futures and how to start trading futures in the market. How do I go about learning how to trade futures and how to know what the market price will be?
PLEASE DO NOT POST WEBSITES!
You’ll need to read some books. There’re books written for beginner futures traders just like those for stock traders. You can also search for resources online. Websites like investopedia.com are very informative.
You’ll need to open an account with a futures brokers. The largest and well known discount stock brokers like TD Ameritrade and Scottrade in the US do NOT give access to Futures Trading.
Depending on the markets you’re interested in trading futures in, there’re, broadly, equity index futures (ex. Emini S&P 500, Dow), commodity futures (ex. crude oil, gold, rice, livestock), currency futures (ex. euro, yen, pound), interest rate futures (ex. treasuries, fed funds), weather futures (ex. temperature, precipitation, hurricanes) and environmental futures (ex. carbon, sulfur emissions). Different contracts are traded on DIFFERENT futures exchanges (ex. crude oil futures are traded on the NYMEX, while Emini S&P 500 futures are traded only on CME Globex), you need to sign up with a broker that gives you access to trading on the exchange that offers the products you actually want to trade.
Hey, why don’t you try stock robots?
I’m assuming you know what I’m talking about. If not, let me take a second to fill you in.
There’s a site on the internet that claims to have invented a robot that can pick winning stocks. I was skeptical at first but I tried it. And I SWEAR it’s the BEST investment I ever made! I’ve made $47350 so far since I started a few months ago.
The best part was I threw my resignation letter at my boss’s face and showed him the middle finger.

Best go for options. First learn what options are, kinds of options, the call and puts. Go to investopedia to learn your basics. As for futures I dont know if you can just trade them, mind you they are more riskier since you stand to loose more than your premium.
