Even though the actual traded Volumes are not

can arbitrage (ie buy one sell the other for a low risk profit)
between the Futures and Underlying Stock should the Futures 
price be way out of line with the Underlying Share price.
 
You should however check with your broker to find out what spreads 
the market makers have to to give when quoting a price.
Usually the spreads involved preclude day trading Individual share
futures as crossing the spread can sometimes mean 1/2 the days range.




Thanks David, I guess it's better to wait and see
