  1. And that guy was probably one of the very few making some $$ trading ES.

  2. I think it would be great if they took the contract size up to $100 per point and reudced tick increments to .1

  3. and what do you think about the spread: would you like to see a reduction from 0.50 to 0.10 on ES?

    I personally think it should be healthy, after all only MM are gaining something from a larger spread on the index, while it is only gonna eat into our profits and magnify our losses.

  4. Well, maybe 0.10 is too much to ask but I would gladly battle (if I knew how) to settle for 0.25-0.30

  7. huh ? what months ES do you trade and at what hours ?
    I almost always see 1 tick ( .25 ) in the
    lead month spoos unless the market is closed

    -and what do you think about the spread: would you like
    to see a reduction from 0.50 to 0.10 on ES?-

  8. The few times I trade ES is after hours and the spread at that time is always 0.50.
