Propose moving/renaming the article to "E-mini S&P 500"[edit]

Hello, I'm proposing to move this article to "E-mini S&P 500" and delete the redirect on that page to this page. This page specifically talks about the "E-mini S&P 500" and that is the proper name of the contract on the CME exchange.

See: https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/us-index/e-mini-sandp500_contract_specifications.html

There's no such thing as a "E-mini S&P" futures contract; nor do I see "E-mini S&P" as a common shorthand for "E-mini S&P 500" (if anything most people shorten it to "E-mini" or even just say "S&P 500" when they actually mean the mini). Changing the name also avoids confusion with other contracts like "E-min S&P 500 ESG" or "E-mini S&P Midcap 400." So I think for those reasons the article should be renamed to "E-mini S&P 500".

I agree Eric. I think that this article should be renamed to E-Mini S&P 500 as that is the official name of the futures contract on the CME (Globex) Jeffreythelibra (talk) 04:06, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Remove "bet" from contract size description.[edit]

The last sentence of the opening paragraph ends with... "the S&P 500 cash index closed at 2,767.32, making each E-mini contract a $138,366 bet."

Describing the contract value compared to the underlying S&P 500 as a "bet" is subjective, charged, and does not add any value to the description. While the author clearly thinks of trading as a bet, this contract can be many things, including hedge, where you WANT it to lose money. That is not a bet.

The sentence should simply end with:

"the S&P 500 cash index closed at 2,767.32, making each E-mini contract worth $138,366." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8800:4682:F200:B491:353:5986:A231 (talk) 15:48, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion to add information about the E-Mini S&P 500 contract specification[edit]

Howdy fellow Wikipedians, I am thinking about adding some technical information about the E-Mini S&P 500 contract such as the contract specification, which would include tick size, minimum price fluctuation, position limits and maintenance and initial margin requirements. I think that this information would be helpful to readers in understanding how this futures contract works. https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/equities/sp/e-mini-sandp500.contractSpecs.html Jeffreythelibra (talk) 03:58, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
