Trading forex futures - Why?

Futures and spot/cash move in the same way pip for pip, there might be a difference because of the cost of finance (interest)of the forward contract, if you trade fast TF'S and scalp, futures are a great instrument to use IF you're only interested in the majors, because anything else doesn't have the liquidity.
Plus as a bonus you can trade the E-MINI's if bored with currencies, most futures brokers can offer you those as well.
In theory trading futures should be cheaper IMO, the spread is tighter and commisions can be tiny if you trade volume, the MM's do advertise tight spread, but how do you know you are actualy getting the tight spread?
the amount of tricks that can be played are countless i'm sure
Go to CME Globex and have a look.

Definitely worth a look. There are some futures contracts that are fun, profitable, dangerous to trade. Some might be easier than the very liquid major currency pairs. Oil. The ags - although there are those that say trading the ags is another way of trading oil. The treasurys. Etc.

Another thing about futures - the true volume of contracts traded is openly available - so you can complicate (I mean, enrich) your approach to trading by thinking about that.

You can open a demo account at a FCM and have a look - they will market you and try to get you to open a live account but typically you can renew your demo account multiple times. Try Global or Infinity to start. There are others that are just as accessible, I'm sure.

As mentioned, retail forex also has many plusses, trading with an MM can often be a whole lot easier/more profitable than trading exchange traded instruments, I guess a lot depends on how/when one trades and what one needs, one man's trash.....

Greenspan is that you???

lol

Each person has his own reason to trade. some one said trading is hard..some others said easy. in my point of view, we trade just b/c of we want to get more money form that.
