I think Lorenzo was stating he was trading "1 to 2" contracts at a time, rather than 1/2 contract.

We would allow you to trade those contracts right up until the contracts stops trading. If you want to be sure to avoid taking delivery, make sure you're not holding any open long positions after First Notice Day.

Trading starts Sunday evening, May 6th.

You might want to check out the "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Options and Futures". I haven't read it, but I've heard good things. And I came across this page yesterday which I thought had some really good, basic info...

Not income of $500k, the article is addressing Net Worth. I also find it hard to believe and wonder how they reached their conclusions.

You're right, I should have specified what instrument I was talking about; which was the $5 Dow. If you've got a 1 lot on the mini DOW the only thing I can think of to hedge that is take the opposite position with the Emini SP. It's not a perfect hedge obviously, but it should help...

$10 Dow is pit traded (or human-traded in other words) so yeah you're not going to see your fill instantaneously.

That's the tough thing here; even your broker can't execute an order in the $5 Dow. The market is not trading at all. However, it you're trading in multiples of 2 lots you can offset with the $10 Dow which is pit-traded and still operating.
