PRICING E-MINIS Where does ES price come from? ES = (SPY price)/factor + time premium Now that I know that e-mini price is not direct, what bids and asks should I look at to detect where there is more pressure to gauge the future ES or ER2 price? Should I look at SPY or SPX, for example? —RobertM You determine short-term up or down movement of the futures by the premium or discount to adjusted fair value. You take the spot price of the S&P, and add fair value for that day (check www.programtrading.com or www.indexarb.com for the daily number; there may be a slight difference, so take the average). When there is a premium, the market has an upward bias, and vice versa when there is a discount.
