and have you done that sucessfully? Or is there some other difficulty that makes is unfeasible?

That last post looks like a jumbled mess.... here's my calculations for the NQ from the Opening price to the Closing Price.... 02-May 1.50 03-May 10.00 04-May 14.00 05-May 4.00 06-May 2.00 09-May 4.00 10-May (9.50) 11-May 7.50 12-May (3.50) 13-May 14.00 16-May 7.00...

Average of 11.4 points per day with a total of 113 points.... I can get that up to 145 by waiting to buy until it goes down 1.5 points, which it did every single day in the last 30 days...... $50 per point on NQ right? that's $5650 on one contract. I'm just wondering if you can actually buy...

No takers?

No takers?

I sense a hint of sarcasm.... I do consider myself a fairly smart person, smart enough not to go throwing money into this without a complete understanding of how they work, but in some cases, you have to just try your hand to get the experience you need to improve... I'm just hoping to gian a...

Please explain.... just remember I am coming at this with about a year experience with Nasdaq and NYSE stocks, I have never even considered futures until now...... so what is the catch?

Hey, I just got my hands on the historical data that CME puts out there on the E-mini's..... just looking at it, it looks like one could make a profit just purchasing at the opening price and selling at the closing price (looking mainly at the NQ one), is that possible with the e-mini, to buy at...

is the DIA the same as ^DJI????

figured.

Is there any way to trade the current dow instead of the future dow? And how the hell do I do it from E*Trade, or am I better off with another brokerage?

I don't see the e-mini dow anywhere, where that one at?

So I guess I never figured out if, during the day, is the e-mini trading at the actual price you see on CNBC, or some future price that you have to get somewhere else?

I noticed you said the margin req was $3938, is that a percentage of the current price or a set price? So with 10k you could buy 2 contracts correct? 12k, 3 contracts, etc?

Great, I thank yall many times over! I think I have a good grasp on this now... essentially e-mini trading is like trading securities except for the expiration date (which I am guessing not many people ever make it to), and the margin difference (mainly because there is less risk involved I am...

Now when buying and selling, are you going off the current dow quote, or the 'future' dow quote?

Why is the point per value $5 instead of $50?

Thank you, all answers in my head on the differences in margin on equity and futures is answered. I am still a little fuzzy on the buying and selling part though... I must have ADD because after 10 minutes of reading all I see is "blah blah blah".....
