Hi freelyhovering, yes thanks, I had a wonderful holiday, and all is well... and I hope the same was true for you and yours... Okay, let's see if I can make it easily understandable here for you... it's really very simple... all recorded trades in the header are based on a single futures SP contract... there are two kinds of SP futures contracts, the mini and the large one... the mini is 1/5 the size of the large one... I always use the large one, so to answer you question, each trade, which means all reported profits and/or losses, are based on one large SP futures contract... the amount of money committed is determined by the margin requirements of the exchange at the time that contract is traded... I hope this was helpful... if not, then please let me know and I can try to clarify further... GZ
