Hi everyone, I'm new to futures. I'm practicing trading the emini in a demo account on a platform called FireTip. So far I'm doing really well....
thanks for the reply!
I'm also curious about currency futures and taxes. I've been told that e-mini S&P's fall under the 60/40 tax rule and Forex is in a gray area...
When I checked the spread over the weekend while the market was closed the spread was 30 pips or so. That's pretty common when you look at spread...
Current volume is 5211 which is nothing compared to the 1588602 for the emini. But the spreads are one pip.
I've been checking the E-Micro M6E today and the spreads were never more than one pip (which is the same spread as the normal size contract)....

Will do. Thanks oldtime.
Like, I had stated previously I don't know much about currencies. I've been spending all of my time researching and testing the ES, but I didn't...
I guess I can't disagree with any of you. Point made. Thanks.
Hi everyone, I've been trading stocks for a few years and I thought I'd start learning as much as I can about Emini futures. I downloaded a demo...
Hi everyone, I'm just starting to trade futures and I only have Mac computers at my house and place of business (I don't this to be a discussion...
to oldtime: Any chance you could send me the link to the specific page on the cme website that talks about margin and spreads with eminis?...
Nice! Any suggestions for learning the basics in forex or did you just download a demo and figure it out?
Thanks for answering. I may not have explained it as clear in previous posts but that essentially sums it up (except only averaging up, not...
