Probably Duke & Duke. I'm sure there are many fine firms in Philadelphia. Certainly there would be branches of the more well-known international firms. But I'm not familiar with any particular one. For each contract you should have about $10,000 to daytrade and $12,000 to hold overnight. Ballpark. Personally, I find it difficult to daytrade less than 4, but that does not mean it can't be done. As far as futures options; I've never traded them, just S&Ps I think what you meant about TT is that at any given time you are either long from a number, short from a number or flat. That's correct. So if you sold an S&P contract yesterday at 1120.00 and bought it back at 1112.00 your account would be credited 800 points or $2000.
