friday sell off, page-95

I'm presuming you're taling bucketshop derivatives - the 'cash' is a cfd product, which means that you're purely trading against the shop.. the 'forwards' are presumably a product not created by the shop but where they are simply acting as brokers for your trade in the direct futures market... but even when acting as 'broker' the shops have a few ways of ripping you off.. these i've described before.. the spreads, the weighting of the spreads, the limits on fills, requotes, etc etc.. so you're still trading against the shop in some degree.. your choices are to either ante up for the direct futs market, or trade the bucketshops, or trade index warrants (during asx hours), or trade index options, or trade index funds (leveraged or unleveraged).. only futs have after hours trading in the direct market ..
