No problem,

Hey, I was wanting to ask you about your s&p trading..the paper trading that turned 20k into over 200 in five days..

Is that an s&p futures contract and am I to understand that the margin required for one contract initially was only 20,000. I have been seriously considering switching to futures trading from stocks...

I like the idea of being insulated from "earnings events"...if you know what I mean..

I also follow the futures for my stock trading so it seems like I could save my self some trouble by just trading the futures. I seem to have a pretty good feel for which way the futures are going, and possible bounce points, but often the stocks I'm trying to trade don't follow the futures.

seems like just trading es or nq may be easier..

any advice you could give me would be great and if you would like to re direct this discussion to another site, just link it for me..

thanks in advance bud..
