Hello, I have been trading the FTSE 100 via spreadbetting on IG for some time now. I would like to move to trade the actual futures but am having trouble finding a broker and trading platform. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Would very much appreciate any suggestions or suggested...

Thanks for that Raysor, just registered with Tradestation for Futures and had to file the W8Ben form a few weeks back as i also have an Ameritrade account for trading US equities. Cheers

thanks Neil - getting the impression that record keeping/calculating gain or loss for US futures is a whole lot simpler (and therefore cheaper!) than for trading US equities. cheers

thanks for that Daytradingpit - sorry about not acknowledging sooner - not logged in for a few days. Do you trade US futures yourself? You mentioned a google search i cant find anything worthwhile - is there a particular site you could point me towards?? Many thanks in anticipation nodd1e
