Your gut instincts are correct ... when you see wide spreads, you are
looking at illiquid markets in which the MM's are taking the cream ... RUN
UNLESS YOU ARE A LONG TERM INVESTOR. Look at the SP and NDX emini (ES and NQ) as
these have strong depth and tight spreads, especially ES.

Subject: [RT] Single Stock Futures vs
Stock Trading: not interesting ?
For some time now, I have been day-trading stocks on NYSE and
Nasdaq. Recently, I received an invitation from my broker to attend an
online conference to trade SSF on NQLX and Chicago ONE
exchanges.But when I checked the live quotes, I was disappointed:
while it looks interesting because you have no uptick rule with SSF, I was
hurt when I discovered the bid-ask spread: an ashaming 5 to 7 pts,
while the same spread on the underlying stock is only 1 pt !!!Has
anyone some experience with Signle Stock Future trading, am I missing
something, is this really interesting compared to real stock trading
?Thank you for your commentsCarl
