e-minis
The trading of eminis involves the buying and selling of Stock Index Futures within a single day, or intra-day using a computerised system.
Real-time market data via the Internet, is used to determine buy and sell signals, and orders can be placed electronically via the internet with no middleman or broker intervention in the process of order execution.
Successful day trading requires a market with significant daily movements, allowing for the entry and exit of positions at intervals large enough to grab a piece of the movement. The S&P 500, DOW and NASDAQ markets are among the most volatile markets worldwide, moving up and down often enough each day to allow for multiple trading opportunities.
E-minis are ideally suited to the active trader who wants to trade electronically, and likes to have maximum control with good profit potential.
