Information About Eminis
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 size of E-mini contracts is the reason behind them being cheap. So for example the very popular E-mini S&P 500 contract works as follows: One point of the E-mini S&P 500 contract is worth , so for every open trade held, an one point movement in this E-mini index would result in profit/loss, If 2 contracts are held then the index’s one point movement will cause a 0 profit/loss.
Eminis can be used for trading for a variety of reasons
Volatility is the art of making big amounts from relatively small ones.
Affordability is one reason because it allows market exposure at reasonable cost.
Secondly, the monitoring of trading Eminis is easy. All you need to do is monitor a few indices which are opposed to traditional stock picking by scanning hundreds of stocks.
High liquidity: Highly liquid market as opposed to single stocks which often lack transparency and can be manipulated by large brokerage firms.
This process is 100% electronic and is really fast. You do not have to wait for a long time and make calls to your broker and this process is highly efficient!
Profit in up AND down markets: E-mini trading can facilitate profitable strategies in both up and down markets as opposed to single stocks that are often vulnerable to short selling restrictions imposed by the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission)
Tax free profits is another reason why E-mini should be used because the income from futures trading is completely yours.
Eminis are particularly suitable for moderator, live mentor training programs
So do the Eminis offer an effortless, guaranteed source of income? definately a no!
Those who say they can give u teaching on trade markets or trade Eminis are probably lying. 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. The work of Afshin Taghechian is targeted on short term trading and is implemented to all markets.Afshin Taghechian introduced the TIMES trading system which is concentrated on Eminis.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?
