    There is no difference is there? Apart from the settlement. The spot price is the price if you are paying cash and the future price is the price you are paying sometime in the future. So the future is the spot plus the funding. Of course there could also be a difference from supply and demand between the two.

    There's just a difference in the premium, like in S&P futures vs index.

    I've gotten better fills in the futures, especially when trading the reports, because futures are regulated by somebody and they can't rape you as easily, I suppose.

    Liquidity is excellent in the futures, just can't get that insane 100:1 leverage.
