Helllo guys,

do you know a reliable broker where I can trade e-mini S&P 500 ?
If I can trade the S&P 500 together with Forex would be great.

thanks !

North Finance like a lot of metatrader brokers only have CFD indexes. You would have to go to interactive brokers and other non meta trader brokers This is why USA based ones like interbank fx dont have any as cfd`s are illegal in US . I have also been looking . IB seems to be good as I have a friend who has been trading with them for a few years

lol why would you go through an offshore egyptian broker to trading emini's.

use globalfutures.com if you are short on cash. they have like $300 margin futures.

from personal experience, trading currency futures is a lot less headache. you can use IB but its more for instiutionalized traders. expect a steep learning curve.

Hi jjk2, do you use "global " ? I recently had a look at their platform strategy runner . Yes indeed there seems to be a learning curve as they are very different to forex , and there does not seem to be much free info on trading them as far as I can find . Do you find them very profitable ?

Open e Cry, good reviews from others, low costs( direct access broker), can trade off the charts which are good and FREE, have two week free demo which is close to the real feed if not the same....( not recommended if testing small time frame plays) but good to get a feel of the platform.

Had some disconnection problems a fews months ago...but have been ok of late.

I do not use them.

But I dont like it. If they are offering margin, there are some catches.

to trade futures, currency might be too heavy at first.

I'd recommend trading interest rate futures like bonds, margin are under 1k

for broker, I've heard good stuff about infinityfutures. open e-cry seems to have solid rep as well.

imo, interactive broker's platform & API is a very very steep learning curve. the api documentations are not that clear, not even complete.
