Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

It sure looks like you can just wait until it makes a low around 10:30-11:00 then buy and hold for the next few hours.

Has worked fine the last 1000+ trading days. I see no reason why it wouldn't work tomorrow.

What do you mean? how to trade it? how the margins work? I'd love to write it all down but I'm too lazy :D

The gist is, you get pretty good leverage for a minimum required margin to trade. Obviously, the higher the leverage, the more dangerous it is.

I'd look into YM or ES for starters and stay away from ER2 until you get more experience. That's my opinion. I'm sure a lot of people will disagree.

Now back to the topic at hand - 100% up room to go.
:D

Are we talking a 1:100 leverage?

Yeah, how to trade it? What's the typical length of a trade, it's more of a scalping type of trading isn't it?

I think with the current volatility it is only a matter of time for brokerage houses to offer 1:1000 leverage for the major equity index futures, at least on long positions :p

How to trade it is up to you (I don't scalp). Leverage depends on which one you trade. ES, YM, ER2, NQ. I believe some brokerage requires only $500 intraday and around $4000 (depending on the contract) to trade about $70k worth of ES.

Each contract has a multiplier. Go to CME or CBOT's websites and you can look at the contracts and its margin requirement and multiplier.
