[es] Question About Price

[maciek 10]

Im just confused about the price of S&P 500 and ES. When the S&P 500 opens in the market, is it the same price as the ES? And when it closes, are S&P 500 and ES the same price? I am just confused where the prices of ES and prices of S&P 500 are derived from.

Are you referrring to S&P 500 futures? ie the big contract?

 

SP500 and ES are future contracts of the S&P 500 INDEX,

but the contracts are traded independent of each other.

 

They each have their own bid and ask prices.

They each have their own market depth.

Theoretically the price should trade the same,

but the price is driven by the market, not theory.

Yes I am talking about futures. I want to learn about S&P 500 Emini. I just dont understand since many places state that S&P 500 Emini is a derivative of S&P500. It is 50 times S&P500. If it is 50 times S&P500 then why is it open most of the day when S&P500 is open during regular trading hours. That is where I am confused. :doh:
