IDax,

I'd strongly consider checking the spread on the FTSE250 contract before trading it, whether day trade, swing trade, or position trade.

Just because someone is on the other side, doesn't mean you'll get a favorable price for your entry or exit.

Frank,

Just because you can't find it on Tradestation, doesn't mean US citizens can't trade them.

Try another broker, like Open E Cry or Interactive Brokers that should have them.

P.S. I wouldn't even contemplate "scalping" the FTSE250 on UK econ reports. Try forex or currency futures instead.
