Prawx asked:


Which US based commodities/fx broker offers emini index futures? I’ve heard you can trade stock index futures in minilots just like trading currencies and commodities(ie pay no commission just the spread) and was wondering which US based fx brokers offer that?
I was under the impression that commodities(futures) do not have a flat commission but a “spread” from which a broker makes money. How on earth can somone make money with a $100 forex account otherwise.

I already know that gold, silver and currencies have next to low or no commission such as the flat dollar commission on stocks.

I need a list of brokers that sell futures in minilots without extravagent fees.

I’m not interested in buying mutual funds, futures, commodities. Buying “gold” does not seem to be a very practical suggestion to me. Any other ideas?

HumbleAfrican asked:


I have an avid interest in the financial markets and I want to start investing in commodities. All I need is materials to read, and brokers I can speak to, and mostly, advice from experienced traders or enthusiasts.
