Pardon the cross listing, but I need as much feedback as I can get on this....
CME plans to launch the E-mini NASDAQ 100 index futures contract, scheduled for early June. The NASDAQ 100 concentrates on high-tech and Internet stocks, and is 1/5 the size of a regular NASDAQ contract. It will be open for electronic trading, 24 hours/day, on Globex.
I was asked to collect words of advice for novice traders, who may be attracted to this E-mini because of the small contract, fast fills and market volatility. For example... What are the "gotchas" in 24 hour trading? Is electronic trading all pros and no cons? How does slippage and error correction compare to broker-mediated trading? What's the best way to trade a volatile market like this?
Any feedback ( private or public ) is most appreciated.
