Electronically traded contracts

Eminis are future based trading contracts that represent a part of futures contracts institutional traders use. E-mini contracts are available on a wide range of indices such as the Nasdaq 100, S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400 and Russell 2000. What makes E-mini contracts cheap for retail traders is their size which is 1/5 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.

Eminis can be used for trading for a variety of reasons

Volatility allows you to make big gains with small amounts.

The first and most important reason is affordability because it provides broad market exposure at reasonable price.

Easy monitoring is the second reason why one should trade Eminis because you just have to see some indices as opposed to traditional stock picking scanning hundreds of stocks.

High liquidity is the third reason why one should use Eminis as it offers high transparency.

100% Electronic:  Eminis trade virtually round the clock and fill orders really fast as opposed to the old days where you had to ring up your broker, get stock quotes and sometimes had to wait for as long as 30 minutes before you got filled (at a bad price) often wiping out your entire profit, order fill efficiency and speed of the Eminis are unparalleled!

E-mini trading is completely different from single stocks because it can promote profitable strategies both up and down markets and is not susceptible to short selling restrictions

Eminis provides you tax free profits unlike traditional single stock investing.

Eminis are particularly suitable for moderator, live mentor training programs

Are Eminis providing guaranteed income? No? definately a no!
Anyone who claims they can teach you how to trade markets, currencies or the Eminis and over promise they are actually 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. Afshin Taghechian focuses on small scale trading and is implemented to all markets.Afshin Taghechian came up with the TIMES trading system which studies Eminis and is highly capricious.What do you think is the reason behind Mr Afshin Taghechian choosing only Eminis among all the other trading markets? Eminis provides a number of advantages which were not available 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?
