Benefits Of Trading Emini Futures - Part 3

(QQQ)(DIA)(SPY)(GLD)(BAC)

by DeWayne Reeves

THE BENEFITS OF TRADING EMINI FUTURES - PART 3

This will be the final installment of the "Benefit" series. In Part 1 we covered:

• Liquidity - A traders dream.
• Pattern Day Trading - No $25,000 minimum account balance required.
• Daytrading Margins - For the indexes - $500 per contract intraday.
• 100% Electronic Market - No market maker, no middlemen, first in is first out.
• Taxes - Futures contracts receive tax advantages, check with your CPA.

In Part 2 we discussed:

• Commissions - Your cost of doing business averages $7 per round turn.
• Spread - Razor thin, 1 tick in most cases.
• Research - No more homework.
• Options - If you like them, you can still trade them.
• Selling - Being short the market is as easy as being long.

As we wrap up the "Benefits Package" of being an Emini Futures Trader, keep in mind we've only covered the good stuff. Common sense tells us there must be two sides to every coin. As soon as I find the other side, I'll post it straight away.

If you find it first, use the comments section below or email us support@cfrn.net .  

So what's left?

Simplicity - Stock Traders typically watch a basket of stocks. Some watch five while some watch 50. If you understand the concept of multiple time frames, you know you need to keep an eye on at least three time frames per instrument traded. If your basket has 50 stocks, that's 150 charts to monitor. On the other hand, trading the S&P 500 Emini Futures allows you to trade a basket of 500 stocks by watching only one chart. If we allow for the multiple time frame aspect, you now have three charts in front of you. If you were even fairly good at monitoring 50-150 charts, how good might you become if your entire universe were suddenly reduced to focusing on just three charts. That's right - 500 stocks - 3 charts. Simplicity...

Focus - (see Simplicity)

Retirement Account - IRA? 401k? When you exit a stock trade, you will usually wait three days for your funds to settle before you can redeploy the cash. Not so with Emini Futures. The second you exit the position, you're locked and loaded, ready to take the next trade.

Open For Business - Still working the day job? Some stocks trade after hours and pre market on a very limited basis. Futures however, trade from Sunday afternoon until Friday afternoon. There are 2 short periods a day when Futures close to allow the barkeep to clear the tables and wash the glasses. Other than Friday night, Saturday, and early Sunday, it's a 24/6 market. Asians are hammering the Emini's at 2AM EST, the Europeans are cranking it up at 5AM EST and of course Wall Street waltzes in at 9:30AM EST. Whether you're still working the day job or just prefer working at night, Emini Futures are open for business when you're ready to trade.

Contracts Never Expire Worthless - Emini contracts never die, they just roll over. Unlike Options where (n)% of contracts expire with zero value the third Friday of every month, this never happens with an Emini contract. When the front month changes, unless you exit your position, your broker will roll you forward into the next contract month.

Guaranteed Fills - If you're trying to buy 1500.00 on the S&P and there is even 1 tick at 1500.25, you know you are filled. It's a pure electronic market (FIFO), so the only way price can tick up to 1500.25 is if every order in the queue at 1500.00 is filled. You'll never sit there wondering if you got filled. Watch the DOM, the proof is in the tick. No market maker, no monkey business. 

I hope this 3 Part Series has helped to answer your questions as to why legions of traders are leaving equities to trade the Emini Futures Market. I would love to personally answer any questions you still have and I would like to personally invite you to take our 5 Day Free Trial.

Emini Podcast for Wednesday 08/01/12

Emini Futures | Is QE3 On The Horizon?

(QQQQ)(DIA)(SPY)(GLD)(SLV)

The E-Mini S&P 500 finished the quarter above that ever-so-important $1400.00 level!  The tone was rather optimistic as Federal Chairman Ben Bernanke has kept to possibility of further quantitative easing on the table. The extended accommodative policy has been re-enforced at several public appearances by the US Chairman keeping US interest-rates low until perhaps 2014 to support a slow but steady recovery. Some traders speculate that the end of “Operation Twist” in June may be the opportunity for the Fed to introduce another round of quantitative easing!

SP500 / Dow Emini Futures Trade Zone To Zone 03/05/12

(QQQQ)(DIA)(SPY)(GLD)(SLV)

The S&P500 and Dow Emini Futures traded lower today amid ongoing Euro worries and fresh concerns about China's lowered growth target. The opening hour gave us a 7 point range on the ES and and a 100 point range on the YM. Both markets managed to claw their way back to finish on par with Friday's close.

Learning To Trade Emini Futures

As you will see below on tonight's Emini Charts, the imporatnce of good support and resistance numbers cannot be underestimated or overstated. Whether it's fixed (WTZ) or dynamic, knowing where the market is attempting to go adds a tremendous level of clarity and helps a trader put things in the proper perspective. The markets don't always turn on a dime the way they did today, but when they do, we want to be quick to recognize it and trade accordingly to maximize the potential.

Emini Weekly Trading Zones

CFRN Partners receive the Weekly Trading Zones before the markets open every Monday morning. We currently publish Trading Zones for the S&P 500 Emini Futures, Dow Futures, Euro Futures, British Pound and the Russell. In general, these are "areas" where we expect the market to consolidate and make a decision. The outcome is always rejection or acceptance. Either way, price then begins its journey to the next Zone. Today's activity might look unusual but if you reference our historical charts, the real exception to the rule is "when price does not move zone to zone".

We hope you hesitate because you see security warnings pop up. That means you are using a secure browser and a solid anti-virus, anti-malware program. We first publicly promoted Safe-Surfing in 1999. The good news is you have the assurance of both CFRN and AMAZON that you are completely safe when using this toolbar.

We also want you to click the big red button -

 

You might question why you want to be a part of the whole Google Plus thing. Right? Once upon a time you also used Yahoo to search. See where I'm going? This is much more than just another Facebook. Let's pretend you're visiting New York City and you have a hankering for a nice T-Bone. You already know that you need only Google "steak house" and as if by magic, the Google reads your I.P. address and shows you good steak houses (based on reviews of strangers) that are near your location.

Could it get any better? Yes. It just did.

If your Aunt Ethel (who also loves a nice T-Bone) was in New York City last year and used Google to find a "steak house" and that "steak house" turned out to be so good that she hit the Plus One button, guess what? When you do that same search in that same city, Google will not only tell you where to find a T-bone, Google will now tell you that your Aunt Ethel really loved this particular "steak house" if you're in her "circle". I've made my case. You want to be in Aunt Ethel's Circle based on DNA. You want to be in our Circle because of PNL. We want to be in everybody's circle because we love you. (like a brother)

I know it's a bit scary but this is a new world we live in and that's just one reason that you want to be a part of Google Plus (it's free) and also why we want you to click our big red button (it's free).

So get clicking I got steaks to cook............

 

 

 

Ps/ If you click the button and follow the official CFRN Page, follow us on Twitter @CFRN and like us on Facebook, I'm going to send you a bonus PDF that outlines a very simple trading strategy that has been used in the pits for decades by Pit Warriors but we've put a slight twist on it that allows you to place the same trade even in if you're golfing, or boating, or visiting with foreign dignitaries. Once you've done all the above, send an email to FreeTrade@cfrn.net.
