I'm just starting to play around with a paper trading account for futures. I was looking at doing some backtesting on the performance of a few commodities. But I'm a litte confused on how you figure out point value for a commodite can anyone help me out? Also can you recommend any solid trading books that are cut a dry on the subject of future trading without all the hype. Please not a book that covers security,option, currency & future. Just a solid book on future nothing else.
