### Comment:
&gt; in the Brazilian equity futures market  
  
 lmfao what the fuck, why would they chose this as their sample?

### REPLY:
Two reasons 
 1.	Data availability 
 2.	“Mini-Ibovespa futures are the preferred assets by day traders in Brazil, being the third most traded equity index futures and options contracts in the worldahead of the E-mini S&amp;P 500 Futures and S&amp;P 500 Index Options, for example”
