Dont know where to start

[johno]

Hi, ive been trading stocks for a while now and have decided futures might suit me better but I wouldnt know where to start regarding getting NT up and running. Is there someone I can call to ask a few questions from NT? I have never had to install data before and I dont know what im doing. These forums are helpfull but im still at a loss as to how to get started. I dont know what broker to use, what data to use etc....

Thankyou.

Welcome to the forum.
If you have been trading stocks, you may have used IB (Interactivebroker) before and they are a reasonable futures broker/datafeed to start because they are cheap/free data.
A lot of NT users generally upgrade to Zenfire feed or another datafeed once they think they have outgrown IB, but that really depends on one's trading style.
