Good morning folks .. Looks like GZ added some nice change to his account last night! Another item to mention is the E-mini .. The E-mini is a miniature S&P future contract. This is a contract that can be traded with less required margin in an account. The gains or loss for the E-mini is one fifth the amount per point than for the S&P furtures contract. As far as this contest goes .. we track the pricing on the E-mini to establish our entry and exit prices. Among other things, the E-mini can be watched for free by everybody .. the S&P contract is time delayed unless you pay a subscription to some serrvice. So .. this contest .. we trade the big contract based on the price of the little one. FWIW Gersh
