I'm still short 1 contract from 1589.

How many shares of QQQQ equals one NQ contract? I think its about 800 shares, is that right?

Being a Dec05 contract, what happens after Dec05?
 
How bout the ES, how many shares of the SPY does it equal?
And the ER2, what is the ETF for that index and how many shares of that ETF = equals one ER2 contract.


I love the leverage in futures, money easy come easy go.

One NQ Contract is equivalent to around 810 QQQQ shares, and one ES Contract is equivalent to 500 SPY shares.

Thanks. So the ES is more leveraged, one ES = to about 60,000 worth of SPYs and one NQ = to about 30,000 worth of QQQQs. But the NQ is more volitile (bigger ATR).
