Slow down my friend. Slow down. Well, not really like an option. There is a PREM to it as you are aware that shrinks over time, but upon expiration if you have not sold the position they mark your account to its cash value I believe. It does not simply expire worthless as options might. I think the required margin is about $4,000 to trade one emini. zapfutures.com $4125 with a $3000 maintenance requirement. I would suggest starting with at least $10,000 (many houses require this anyway to open an account) to trade one emini. I would not suggest starting with the large. Get your feet wet first....and only after a successful paper trading duration. You can trade either using the net (LFG's Leoweb, PMB's Timberhill or a couple of others) or you can phone in your orders. Either way works. GZ is not yet ready to give up his hot seat, sorry.... Someone else jump in here I have created a monster.....besides, I have to go now...work to get done.... Later.
