What are the best sources for information or education on trading options or futures.?

I realize there is quite a difference in options and futures but I would like to know if there is anywhere that gives sound advice on strategies on trading either one. Has anyone found a good source or mentor which could help in either one. Thanks for the help.|||For options, check out the Options Institute and other sites under "Learning Center" at the CBOE:

Start very cautiously unless you have a financial suicide wish! You have so much to learn and you want to minimize the cost of your coming education.|||the advice about books is good but I will give you a suggestion even better : if you want to make money trading futures, you MUST learn to backtest investing strategies. Often strategies taught in books are not good, sometimes they can even make you lose money, therefore you need to computer test them before you begin to invest your money.


I have a Yahoo group ( a forum ) about a particular way to trade futures. We do not sell anything and our strategy is explained in detail and completely for free in the links' section :

Just ask the library person to help you look up in the reference area on a book of careers. I know that at my library I personally have looked at it . I was curious as to how many fields there were to choose from in working on computers ,and that book has given me different angles to look at.|||Hi there just send me a mail to jaques606@yahoo.com, with "trading options", in the subject line, and i'll send you some info regarding this matter.
