NQ is $5 per tick and has better volume than YM or ER2.

Does it swing with the volatility of the ER2.

yes I like the er2 for that, but the moves where it pops for no reason a few points pisses me off. I am trying to figure out how to manage those

I don't follow ER2. From what I have read here, it seems that ER2 has more volatility, but you would do best to check for yourself. I like NQ better than ES due to smaller tick size and what I think is generally better volatility. Further, the NQ's tick size is proportionate to the larger, pit-traded contract, unlike ES's tick size which is proportionately larger. Therefore, I think that ES traders may be at a relative disadvantage to pit traders who can arb ES and SP in a way that pit traders cannot arb ND and NQ. Of course, this is all over my head. I just know that I don't like giving someone any more of an upper hand than necessary.
