Procedure for opening an account with a broker, procedure for concluding a contract with the data provider, procedure of institution of money to the account, procedure for withdrawing money from the exchange (from a broker?),

The procedure is simple — for the selected broker, press the button `` open an account" and then fill in all that, what will be proposed. Same with data providers. Money can be transferred to the account only from your account in any bank or from an American broker. Withdrawal is also only on your own account. Instructions should be viewed from a specific broker.

to the accounts of which banks the withdrawal can be made, speed of input/crediting/withdrawal/taxation for citizens of the Russian Federation and at what point it arises.

To your accounts of any banks. Usually for 1-3 of the day. Calculate and pay taxes yourself at your place of residence after a year. Americans only take taxes on dividends, but since you will trade futures, then dividends do not threaten you.
