Traders,
When I got home from work this morning at 5AMCST, I saw on bloomberg news
that the Hang Seng was down approx 6%. At that time the S&P futures were
fluctuating between down 6 and down 6.5 pts. My question: If I were to have
sold one Big Boys S&P would I have had to have margin in the accout?
I think the answer is no since that is not considered an overnite trade, and
would have been considered a daytrade. Anybody know for sure? also was the
little tike S&P available for trading at that time? 
On another note why is the OI in the new dow futures so patheticly low?
CBOT taking a bath on that so far.
