Re: FUTURES is where it's at!

One question I have about e-mini's is about the contract quarters. I understand that on the second thursday of the fourth month is the switch over day or something like that but should I worry about that? And using TradeStation if I were to start trading say the YM do I need to use a certain symbol and switch symbols like YM-Z for one quarter contract and YM-H for the next or do I just enter @YM and TS will switch it for me?

And a question, does 1 contract equal to $2,200 or 1 tick is equal to $5 and how all that works? How the leverage works? In a nutshell.
