Yes, I do get delayed data on most products offered on tradestation and I can run strategies and backtest on that data.

Unless you're dabbling in financial engineering and are creating new security classes, they don't exist.

ok here is a question..

what do you guys think are the three most trendy NON-correlated markets in futures?

.. I need three, but they also have to have relatively low margin requirements

OH Man ! ! ! Peeed Right Off.
How long do you have to wait?

Nice refresher course on Futures tho.

Maintenence Margin; Did anyone cover that?

There is no average price for, nor is there a Normal Option.
Futures Options are as different from Futures as Futures are to Forex.

But that may change in the Future's Future. Only the Future will tell.

If you were to be Trading Dailies & Up, you don't have to place Mkt Orders as your Limit Price should be hit numerous times.

two long years...

no one covered maintenence margin yet...

Here is my main concern.. i have a strategy I want to use but i only have it programmed in easy language and it is almost impossible to plot manually.. not to mention I do not know any brokers that will let me trade with them..

ERRR i had everything planned out

I still wonder how much they cost. In my previous example, the S&P500 equity call option for Jun07 @ 1515 was roughly $11.00. An equity contract assumes a 100 share lot, which is $1,100. The Emini S&P500 future call option for Jun07 @ 1515 was also around $11.00. Is it worth $1,110 per contract, or is there a different multiplier involved? I had the impression that futures options tend to cost less than their equity equivalents.
