Understanding futures vs forex brokers

I've been demoing in Tradingview connected to Oanda. One day I saw that on the broker screen that they are ordered by rating with Amp and Tradovate higher than Oanda.

When I looked into those two, they appear not to be forex brokers like Oanda, but something called future brokers. Does this matter?

On a side note, I trade a lot of small amounts for fun throughout the day -- nothing serious -- but I am looking for the lowest spread.

Thank you.

Hi vbmark,

Futures trading is usually done through brokers who have memberships in exchanges. The contracts are standardized with expiration dates. However, that shouldn't matter in your daily trading.
