maybe you can try tradestation

there are many demo trading sites for emini trading ... i have not yet tried trading real emini but i am now opening an account with tradestation and just waiting for the account approval .....
s&p mini futures symbol is es
expiration symbol is:
h - march
m- june
u- september
z- december
then the number stands for curent year ...
since this is end of august .... you can choose to trade esu4 or esz4
esu4 ..... means s&p emini september expiration 2004
esz4 .... deember expiration 2004
it is best to daytrade emini to avoid surprises ...... futures is not good for trading long term because it will expire worthless .......
for one mini contract, each tick is $12.50 .... assuming you are paying $2.50 commission per trade , even if you play just one contract, the roundrobin cost is just $5 .... that means even if you bail out with +1 tick, you are already in profit territory ......
as i said, it would be interesting to see mick mason and bunny girl experiment on emini trading demo ...even just for fun .... i think they will do very well
