| Stock index futures
are hard to beat when it comes to taking advantage of your
ability to time the markets. Because of their lower capital
requirements, liquidity, and flexibility, stock index futures
makes it easy to establish and manage your directional trades.
Here’s how:
Liquidity and Flexibility
There are no regulatory impediments for getting short the
stock market through electronic stock index futures, and electronic
stock index futures, including the S&P 500, are some of
the most liquid futures markets in the world.
Lower Capital Requirements
Because you can use interest-bearing instruments to post margin
for your futures trading account, you can earn interest for
your clients while you trade the stock market, providing two
potential sources of returns.
Speed and Anonymity of Electronic Futures
Electronic futures’ trading, especially in the stock
index and interest rate markets, provides the anonymity and
speed to effectively execute your trading strategy. Our electronic
trading technology and experienced staff provide you with
superior access to these markets. This foundation we’ve
built now accounts for a significant portion of the volume
in leading electronic US stock index futures index markets.
Model Trade
Your analysis indicates that the S&P 500 is nearing a
short-term bottom over the next few days. As prices approach
your designated support levels, you use S&P electronic
stock index futures to rapidly build up your long exposure
to the market. You can place the trades yourself or through
our skilled execution desk.
