About the Book

An introductory handbook to investing with futures. Many investors learn how to trade equity options, but many are unfamiliar with futures. As headlines about commodity prices proliferate, active, self-directed investors are turning their attention to futures. "The Complete Guide to Futures Trading" is a comprehensive introductory handbook to investing with commodity futures, including the increasingly popular mini(r) stock index futures and the new singlesstock futures contracts. What sets this book apart from competitors is its how-to advice (in finding a broker, opening an account, and making a trade) provided by those with years of experience in helping new traders get started in commodity futures. REFCO Private Client Group, formerly known as Lind-Waldock, is a futures broker dedicated to giving individual investors the benefits of an unbeatable combination of strength, commitment, and focus.
