The dollar value is more important then number of contracts. Why would someone want to pay 5 times the commision to execute 5 mini's instead of one big contract. The answer is because the e-minis provide better fills to retail traders. Not that retail traders dominate the market. But you said "someone" There has been published studies...probably by some broker trying to increase business....but anyways these published studies prove that the fills are better in the e-mini verses the big contract. I have traded both and find this to be true. I personally know 250 lot traders that would not take the chance on the big contract and perfer the better fill and the huge increase in commmish verses a lower bottom line. Michael B.
Also, You can scale in or out with multiple contracts. Personally, I find trading 1 contract very difficult. Do I keep it or cover? This is assuming one vs 5 contracts. If you have big bucks, then this is a moot point. Jay
Also, You get to see bid and offer and have a faster report back of trade with e-mini. With the big ones you only get last trade and it takes longer to get confirmation of fill. Michael B.
