[kserra]

Does anyone know if the pattern day trading rule applys to the e-minis ? how about etfs ?

Thanks

pdt does not apply to eminies or ssf's

 

[kserra]

Sorry for my ignorance but what does ssf's stand for ?

Single Stock Futures. BTW, the PDT rule does apply to ETF's as they are straight stocks.

Thanks again from a newbie

Useful tip for someone new to e-minis:

Read every thread that's been posted here on ET under the index futures forum. There's a lot of good info there. Here's a link that presents that forum starting from day one back in 2001:

you having much fun with those, NA? i look at them from time to time but even the dow components seem to have pathetic volume and - for obvious reasons - unattractive spreads.
