If commodity people such as SSF advocators do not help to defend the agression of PDT margin rules on the line of stock options, they are going to come after you guys sooner or later. By then, it will be too late to cry for lower margin leverage and number of day trades allowed.

I checked all of the SSF today and Microsoft seemed to have the most volume and tightest spread, from 1 to 10 cents. Hopefully the volume will pick up and the spread will be smaller soon. I'm just starting with a small account under 25K which is subject to daytrading rules. With the SSF I could trade as small as 1 contract of 100 shares for $1 with Interactive Brokers.
