I have been trading stocks for 2 years (technical trader)..
Recently became interested in Futures trading because of timing (trading hours), leverage and less products to focus on.
Not sure where to start learning..
My goal is to eventually come up with algo systems in tradestation and automate 100%. But before that I need to know enough to backtest.
Can you please refer me to some good books or training materials?
Thanks in advance.

So much stuff on this forum for you, it will take 1000+ hrs to get through it!
Great place to start is Kevin Davey's webinars (and I would recommend his book too). Very good no nonsense approach to systematic trading and algo development. He is also an active member on this site (@kevinkdog)
While not directly algo related, still great for strategy design - Adam Grimes webinars and his book.
What I like about both of these authors is their realistic view of returns and outcomes, no promises of 700%+ profitable systems with no draw down, but very realistic concepts for you to further develop your own ideas from.
