Much attention and trading volume is garnered by the S&P 500 futures and the E Mini version of that contract. While it is an excellent market to trade, have you thought of trading the E Mini Russell 2000 futures instead?
About E-mini Russell 2000 Futures
Designed to track the Russell 2000 Index, the E Mini Russell 2000 futures, this index measures the performance of the 2000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index. This index was designed to be a representative of the investable U.S. small-capitalization equity market. The Index is value-weighted and includes only common stocks belonging to corporations domiciled in the U.S. and its territories. The Russell 2000 Index serves three main purposes: it acts as a performance standard for active managers, it serves as a proxy for asset allocation purposes, and it becomes a purchasable and replicable vehicle for passive investment strategy.
Since its inception, the Russell 2000 Index has become the premier measure of small-capitalization stocks and is widely followed by U.S. fund managers. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange's 1993 introduction of Russell 2000 futures and options gave investors the opportunity to manage small-cap portfolio risk, as well as to gain exposure to this market segment.
