Finviz Futures: What the Page Shows — and How to Follow Futures on Your Phone
Finviz futures is the page traders open before the market does: index futures, energies, metals, grains, bonds, and currencies on one board, each with a chart. Because index futures trade nearly around the clock on weekdays, it answers the 6 a.m. question — what kind of open are we walking into? — before any stock quote can.
It's free. But like everything on Finviz, there is no app for it (details here), and that matters more for futures than for anything else on the site — because the moments you check futures are exactly the moments you're on your phone: before the open, after hours, on the move.
What the futures page covers
- Index futures — S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow, Russell 2000: the pre-market direction check.
- Energies — crude oil, natural gas, and friends.
- Metals — gold, silver, copper.
- Grains, softs, meats, bonds — the full commodity board.
- Currencies — futures on the major pairs.
Each tile links to a chart, and the board makes relative moves obvious: gold up while indexes bleed tells a story a single quote can't.
Free vs Elite for futures
The page itself is free with no account. The paid tier changes the data underneath: free Finviz quotes are delayed, while Finviz Elite ($39.50/month or $299.50/year) adds real-time quotes including pre-market and after-hours, plus alerts. For a page whose whole job is "what is happening right now, before the open," delayed data is a real limitation of the free version.
Using it on your phone
Same story as the rest of Finviz on mobile: the desktop page, scaled down. The quote board is readable; the charts are desktop-sized and want pinch-zooming. You can save finviz.com/futures to your home screen (Safari: Share → Add to Home Screen), but there's no layout built for a phone and no push alerts of any kind — Elite alerts arrive by email.
For tradable, real-time futures quotes on a phone, your broker's app is the straightforward answer. For charts, TradingView's app is excellent.
From watching futures to trading them
Here's the honest workflow gap. The futures board tells you what's moving. It doesn't tell you whether there's a trade in it — no entry, no stop, no target, and no tap on the shoulder when something sets up while your phone is in your pocket.
That's the part Finradar is built for. Its AI screens continuously across markets — including index futures like the Nasdaq 100 (NQ) and gold, alongside forex majors and crypto — and when a high-probability setup forms, it pushes the full trade plan to your phone: entry zone, stop loss, targets, and the reason the setup formed. Every signal's result, losses included, is on a public P&L calendar you can inspect before paying anything. And if you want signals executed rather than just delivered, the Auto Trade Copier mirrors them to an MT4/MT5 broker account, converting symbols automatically (NQ=F becomes US100, GC=F becomes XAUUSD).
The free tier runs on delayed data — enough to evaluate the signals against the market for as long as you like. Download Finradar on the App Store and let the next overnight futures move come to you instead of the other way around.
