FTSE newbie question

[Rafiq]

Hi everybody! I am a little new to trading and would appreciate if any experienced members can throw some light on my queries :
1. How much is the premium ( or discount ) on FTSE rolling, normally?
2. Are FTSE futures traded more than rolling?
3, What is the average volumes of FTSE rolling perminute?
Is this difficult question?

Hi Rafiq,
Welcome to T2W.

I can't help with your questions I'm afraid - I suspect you'll be better off directing them to your broker.

Thanks Timsk. I do not have a broker yet, and thought of asking members here, who might already be trading. I wonder if not many people trade FTSE rolling and prefer futures probably?

FTSE rolling is currently offering 6422.8 bid and 6424.8 ask
FTSE June future is 6379.8 and 6383.8
You will find slight differences among brokers
so the difference is only a couple of points either way..I generally trade rolling as overnight charges are not that great and I have a tendency to keep it open for a few days at a time. It all depends on how long you intend to keep the trade rolling for.

hope this helps
