Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

Has worked fine the last 1000+ trading days. I see no reason why it wouldn't work tomorrow.

 

does not make sense . if banks start defaulting you better watch your free ride no risk longs .

 

Are we talking a 1:100 leverage?

Yeah, how to trade it? What's the typical length of a trade, it's more of a scalping type of trading isn't it?

 

LOL...dude. Your grandpappy told you too many stories about the great depression...LOL

 

Niiiiice... any charts?

 

I think with the current volatility it is only a matter of time for brokerage houses to offer 1:1000 leverage for the major equity index futures, at least on long positions

 

i should know better , history never repeats itself.

How to trade it is up to you (I don't scalp). Leverage depends on which one you trade. ES, YM, ER2, NQ. I believe some brokerage requires only $500 intraday and around $4000 (depending on the contract) to trade about $70k worth of ES.

Each contract has a multiplier. Go to CME or CBOT's websites and you can look at the contracts and its margin requirement and multiplier.

 

10-4 thanks! I"ll check out YM and ES and learn ER2 a little later as suggested.

 

So, just wait til 10:30-11 Chicago time for the dip in the YM then buy and hold til 1:30-2:00 and sell the ES during the same time frame??
