I can't speak for anybody else but I have been trading the Dow
Futures and Dow Mini and S&P mini since it began. Once you trade
them you will never go back to stocks. It is because of the
leveraging. All the indexes move in direct relation to the Stock
Market indexes so any long term direction must be done with the Big
Board not the mini's. Be warned the Night Trading moves the market
tremendously sometimes and sometimes sleep is not an option.
Otherwise if your technical analysis is at a high level you will
like it. August issue of Futures magazine I think has a good article
on options.
