Try Windsor Direct:

Forum policy prohibits me from posting a url but using your savvy it would look something like this:

I downloaded the platform with Windsor and selected futures but the only future in the market watch window is Gold. Can anyone please tell me how to add more futures to the market watch window so that I trade them? Thanks for any help with this.

In the "Market Watch" window, right click and select "show all". They only have about 8 different choices - I don't trade futures so that's probably as much help as I can be.

You're welcome - that's why this is probably the best mt4 forum around, most posts get replies.

May the Pips be with you!

Yes this forum has been great. I'm still demoing forex and wanted to begin to demo futures as well. I follow techniques for Price Action taught by James16.

Anywho...I'm looking for a good beginners guide to futures with particular respect to how the pricing works. I'm looking to learn the differences as opposed to forex so that I can apply the appropriate $ management etc with stoploss. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Oh and sell Silver today!!!!

Well since I don't use much fundamentals I'm not too picky. I'll basically be looking for good setups like Silver today.

So is it the case that contracts can vary greatly between the different futures? For instance are you able to limit your risk per trade as you can in forex? I normally like to stick to 2% per trade.

I'm a little reluctant to dive into it right away since FX seems to be getting easier, but there are times when it's like saying no to free $
