Swing Trade E-Mini S & P Futures and 30 year T-Bonds together

Tuesday, January 25, 2011

Continue my slew of new articles, gives me secrets away .... again! First, as a newbie accumulations, I learned that the trade in shares and bonds opposite one another: rising stock market and bonds go down and visa versa. A simple concept that is applied to swing trade futures, which is simpler than trading stocks and less expensive. With futures you need an account to $ 12,000-$ 15,000. Day trading stocks business, you will need an account with $ 25,000, as dictated by your brokerage firm/broker.

As a beginner futures or if you are somewhat complex, you can benefit from the above comparison of indicators for bonds: the S & P 500 is supposed to make double digit returns until June this year to 1450-great time to start swing trading with 30 year T-Bond-go long Futures E-mini S & P and short 30 year T-bonds and visa versa as market conditions warrant you can do so. How do you know when to go long and short? Get a commercial program that you use and recently renewed and updated. Point look software is the software program that I use: 3 markets cost approximately $ 2450.00. I recommend getting 4 to start: the e-mini S & P, 30 year T-bonds, the dollar and the euro FX. This allows you to swap T-Bonds off e-mini S & P futures and FX trade-euro off the US dollar. As stocks and bonds, the euro and the dollar play off one another up and down and visa versa.

To play the E-mini S & P vs. 30 year T-bond; your margin requirements for both is $ 25 or $ 10,744.7031.25 per contract for e-mini S & P and $ 3713.00 per contract for 30 year T-bond. I recommend starting to trade the S & P E-mini first and build your account and paper trade 30 year T-bond paper first familiarize hang anymore. If you trade on-line without a broker Futures, margin requirements are lower depending on the brokerage company you select. Be sure to get the number of trading desk too and have the handy if your platform freezes. your price per trade would be cheaper too and then using a Futures broker-but I negotiated a lower value for return trip with my broker in exchange for services; I like to talk to someone and hatred on online trading myself. But as a newbie, than pay a broker assisted Commission fee between $ 20.00 and $ 45.00 a return trip. If you can negotiate $ 20.00, you do well.

I hope this helps to make a decision and keep your full-time job and benefits and is capable of and trade in! I know that P & S e-mini pays $ 50.00 one way and 30-year T-bonds pay $ 159 a tick, I think. And when you get good, you can trade Futures legally for others too!

And always use stops!

Learn and prosper!
