I've seen ER, ES and Y? (YD?YP?) abbreviations before. Are these particular stocks? Also, what are eMinis? It seems as though a lot of price-action traders are using the above set.
ER = Russel futures ES = S&P Futures YM = DOW Futures ES, ER trade on Globex YM on ECBOT Look at their websites for more info www.ecbot.com www.cme.com edit: These are the eminis, less $$ per tick than the full size contracts.
Thanks a lot, that is helpful. So, S&P Futures, that is a single futures contract that is 'betting' on the value of the S&P? Do regular platforms like ThinkOrSwim allow us to plot and trade these, or is everyone using custom software/platforms?
