Thanks what is USO ang UGA ?

Thanks I will look into SPY today . Looks good. I will try QQQQ as well

ESTX50 does not have much noise. I would have traded that but it is still about £8 per point. high for me to experiment. But I am stll considering it.

Thanks for detailed reply. I have paper traded Z(FTSE) but that is £10 per point. Risk is high. If I can work initially with £1 per point ,that will be nice to prove my strategy is working. And danger of blowing the account is not there. However I will keep your suggestions in mind. Might...

It has been a long journey. Started with selling covered call options with UK broker. Later moved to US broker. Than started selling naked puts and calls on index fututes. Then moved to credit spreads and trying to day trade with futures. And now trying to go live.

Thanks I am going to try live QQQQ. Other suggestions from other people welcome

AHG thread is very long and after that thread many changes and improvements must have been made. Is there a link which summarises and is uptodate?

I am paper trading at the moment and I think I have a reasonable profit strategy. I want to slowly enter real trading. Some product which is smooth and value per point is low so my profit or loss is manageable . All comments much welcome and much appreciated. I am in UK and UK, Europe and US...

Wonderful site. Thanks so much.

Thanks very much. I am going to try this on my papertrading a/c and see if I can trade futures at a lower value per point. Margin is not much problem at the moment for day trading.

MGJ Sorry above post has not come out correctly. My reply is at the bottom paragraph

Thanks MTE. I am not very knowledgable. What will be the ETF for say ES, NQ, Dax and Dow jones ? In general how can I calculate how many shares to buy e.g. for one point of ES? Much appreciated

Can you go to some ETF to achieve similar result. ? That ETF has to have very close co=relation to the related future. And margin requirement very nearly the same. Possible? Thanks

Thanks MTE for your response. If exchanges themselves allow variable amounts per point then this can work. This will help exchanges get lot more volume. Brokers will not lose as commission is fixed. Investor will get tight spreads and risk to his liking. Has exchanges ever considered this...

Will any futures brokers offer variable amount per point. e.g FTSE is £10 per point. But will somebody offer say £1/pointor £2/point. This is like spreadbetting in UK. This will help newbies to select the index they like but risk only what they want per point. Comments much appreciated...
