The reason I ask is because in stocks, what cause the price to go up and down is caused by a LIMITED supply of stocks with consideration of price and demand. but in future contracts, if I short a futures contract or buy a futures contract... say ES... if I'm literatelly created a contract out...

can you please explain what happens when I short a futures contract?

Say that you're trading ES. You get nothing delivered to you when the contract expires. Basically, if SPX moved one way and ES moved another way, I don't see what would motivate investors to bring them together...I guess if you anticipate other investors will bring them together, then by jumping...

who determines amounts of futures contracts available for trade? and can new future contracts be added and removed?

does the "electronic system" automatically bring cash & futures prices together if there is a wide point difference? I know that cash-futures arbitragers (hedgers and speculators) do this most of the time, but what happened if they didn't? Would the "electronic system" kick in and force an...

I thought that the system adjusts itself to create future contracts automatically...this would mean the system automatically does write contracts if needed... for example, if a major investor bought up all the contracts and then there was a rise in demand on that contract which caused a...

what i'd like to know is that... could there be one specific futures contract which everyone is trading since there doesn't necessarily have to be losers trading futures (with in mind that the losers would be the cash stock traders)?

I'm a little confused here... can someone clarify that these are true statements... so basically, futures is a zero sums game... if there is a big gap between futures and cash... one will compensate for the other... I would think this would be in real time automatically done...

what's the best broker for mini futures... with consideration to cost and ease of use (all the bells and whistles)?

I work at HCC Dale Mabry, but I live in Brandon.

the reason why i ask is that... I trade futures just because of the amount of leverage I can get from trading them.... Can someone wealthy enough to buy a lot of future contracts (but not wealthy enough to by stocks) cause destablization within the futures market. Say for example, Warren...

Why does the government impose a Pattern Day trading rule on stocks but not on futures?

but how can one short the S&P cash when it strickly tracks other stock... so you are saying, futures affect cash and cash affect futures? meaning, if I was very rich and bought up almost all the future contracts... that would affect the cash value? I'm assuming when you say futures...

Please explain what you mean by arbitrage.. thanks

I'm still a little confused as how price is moved in Futures.... I know that futures are suppose to move closely to their cash. But what happens if say... in the S&P, there are more buyers than sellers... then the price goes up... but say at the same time, in futures ES, there are more...
