Hi GZ,

Excellent trade! Could you give a little more detail

TIA.

hi GZ,

found your thread here after our discussion this morning on the spreads thread...

I read a bit at the CME site and came close enough to your profit calc (I came out w/ $200 less) that I've got a slightly better understanding of your trade...

can you point me to someplace I can read about margin reqts for maintaining an SP futures contract? (I went to lind-waldock site, but their margin info is for customers only)

at $381250 per contract (1525 x $250), I'm not going to be buying very many ;-)

thanks
