A couple of other things that I forgot to mention: Most of the index futures gains happen overnight. Which is why I spent time understanding the overnight market. In many ways trading the futures during the after hours is easier than during the regular hours. Just know that when viewed under short timeframes, the AH index futures are a very different animal during AH than during the day time. Depending on what timeframe you choose and what you are trading, there are some insights that only apply to the futures trades. By keeping track of the volume vs open contracts, you can figure out if a rally is driven by short covering or increases in long positions. There are also other insights to be gained based on contango/backwardation and the smile. I don't think these topics will matter much to you if you are focused on intraday index futures trades. They will matter if you are swinging commodities.
