Futures Trading

What are the best sources for information or education on trading options or futures.?

I realize there is quite a difference in options and futures but I would like to know if there is anywhere that gives sound advice on strategies on trading either one. Has anyone found a good source or mentor which could help in either one. Thanks for the help.

For options, check out the Options Institute and other sites under “Learning Center” at the CBOE:

Be certain to download, read and understand “Taxes and Investing” from the CBOE website:

If you don’t have an account yet, you might want to check out Interactive Brokers (you won’t beat their prices and trading platform, especially for options; the site also offers education links):

Start very cautiously unless you have a financial suicide wish! You have so much to learn and you want to minimize the cost of your coming education.
