e-traded contracts
Eminis are future based trading contracts that represent a part of futures contracts institutional traders use. E-mini contracts are obtainable over a wide range with examples such as Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500. The cost of E-mini contracts is reasonable to retail traders because their size is one-fifth the size of larger institutional contracts. For example E-mini S&P 500 contract tells that the price of one point E-mini S&P 500 contract is and a single trade yields a profit/loss of in the E-mini index and if there are two contracts then the profit/loss in the index’s one movement will result in a 0 profit/loss.
There are various reasons for using Eminis for trade
Volatility is the art of making big amounts from relatively small ones.
Affordability is one reason because it allows market exposure at reasonable cost.
Easier to monitor: You only need to watch few indices as opposed to traditional stock picking where you have to scan through 100’s of stocks and still are exposed to single stock pre-announcement movement risk and accounting fraud risk.
High liquidity is the third reason why one should use Eminis as it offers high transparency.
The process of trading Eminis is completely electronic. Eminis works really fast and is completely different from the old days where you had to spend a lot and make calls to your broker and wait at least thirty minutes before your order gets filled!
E-mini trading provides profit in both up and down markets because it is not vulnerable to short selling restrictions imposed by SEC(Securities and Exchange Commission)
Unlike single stocks E-mini provides the advantage of keeping 100% income from futures trading to yourself.
Eminis are particularly suitable for moderator, live mentor training programs
Will Eminis provide guaranteed income? No? Definitely not!
Never trust those who say that they can teach you how markets are traded or how Eminis are traded. However there are good trading mentors out there such as Mark Douglas and Van Tharp who have educated many good traders on Stocks and commodities for long term investing, and mentors like Afshin Taghechian who have spent their entire life researching markets. Afshin Taghechian’s material is focused on short term trading and applies to all markets.Afshin Taghechian came up with the TIMES trading system which studies Eminis and is highly capricious.What could be the reason behind Mr Afshin Taghechian choosing only and only Eminis as his trade mentoring service among all other markets? The reason is the advantages of the contracts provided by Eminis. Eminis is not comparable to other markets because it is new and crops out the flaws which were present in the older markets or the single stocks! Comparing the Eminis to other markets or single stocks is like comparing a modern driving instructor’s car to that of the 60’s, one that has no power steering, no ABS and young people are required to learn to drive and park and take risks in that car… why not just use the best option available?
