    The S&P 500 will top at 3250

    I am probably wrong on this one ...but if I stick to my stats/methods i see a test of 3400 (3396....) based on the monthly chart....Just a longer term view, I like to use trades based on daily/weekly when it comes to options and much lower time frames for day-trading like range bar charts, 9-12...

    How do I find the correct exchange recognised spread for ES-YM ?

    the answer is $1243 1 to 1 ES vs YM .. ( the exchange posts the full size 250 x the index) and the YM at 1-5 for a 90% discount. so it follows that with a 90 % discount on 12,430.00 ( ym @ 5500 + es@ 6930 =12430) then 10% of both overnights gives you $1243.00 as your recognized spread...
