I want know that where can i get to see live fluctuations in dow future and nasdaq futures before market start?
Your futures broker should provide these as part of the service for customers. The exchanges charge for these and do not allow redistribution without either a delay or a fee.
Trading the Nasdaq e-Mini Futures is a great starting market for many traders -- and trading multiple contracts for more advanced.
There is more than one index - The Nasdaq 100 and the Nasdaq composite. The index usually quoted is the composite, but futures are more often traded on the 100

As far as I can tell there has only been a difference in the futures and closing price when futures drop or rise after hours. For the last 4 months or so there has been a consistent 300 point difference in the futures from the nasdaq index. S & P and DOW futures are in line. What gives?
The futures are on the NASDAQ 100 while the most often quoted index is the NASDAQ composite which is a different index.
You're comparing apples and oranges
As you probably know, the current value of an index such as NASDAQ is calculated based on the current prices of the stocks in the index.
Neither the price of an index future contract nor the strike price for the contract are calculated in that sense. Someone could calculate strike prices based on assumed future prices of the individual stocks in the index, but all that is necessary is the the buyer and seller agree on the price of the contract and the strike price.
