There will be a small price risk premium on the later contract (Jul)If you buy Mar, you might want to keep it and roll over to Jul, and there's a cost involved for this. Make sense?

Cents, it won't suddenly break the down trend, more way yet to go down to !! Why didn't you short in the case if it on a downward trend?

If you go long you are expecting the share to go up. At the end of each day OST adjusts your call a/c balance by the MTM. HAR should be up nicely today...Have a look at the Help section under SSF. Some is gobbledegook that I'm still trying to make sense of. I generally go long (being an optimist!)

I strongly recommend you do a ssf course before you begin trading them,or there is a possibility they will kill you, if you dont know what you are doing..
