Which site would you recommend?


Something serious rather than cheap, and something you've tried rather than looked up in google 5 minutes ago.

I trade them via Scottrade, you can use any brokerage account to do soWhere can I buy oil futures and FX forward online?
I have a scottrade account as well. Can you tell me how I can purchase oil? What is the ticker for oil? Report Abuse

I have traded several such instruments on hedgestreet.com


Actually call and put options only.





If you do not have a broker license or do not want to take delivery of the commodities/currency then why would you care for futures and forwards? Too cumbersome to open a margin account etc.





You can speculate in options. Hedgestreet.com allows you to bet as low as $50 or so.
You type in your answer in the search engine for any type of question!!
I would say to use a managed currency fund rather than trading it yourself. For the last 4 months the FXCM sentiment aggressive fund has 52% return. (www.fxcm.com). If you open an account through a broker (such as Self-Actualizer Financial Solutions), you can get a big discount on the performance fees--see www.self-actualizer-fs.com
