It's been a long time since I traded micro fx. Are the spreads still much worse than the normal contract?
The CME are already banking on these micro contracts with the equivalent commission much higher then the minis when using a multiplier of 10.
I think it's a great stock to own for investment and dividend purposes. http://investor.cmegroup.com/dividends-splits wrbtrader
Annoying, I have been using micros to live test new strategies. Most have been duds so that just adds to my cost, but I do like testing in live with minimal dollar risk. I have also been trying to talk myself into swing trading the micro indexes, and again an added cost. In reality not a back breaker, but it would be nice if the costs were on a comparable basis to the minis at least.
Trading MET felt almost like FREE to me. Then again, Canadians pay the highest banking/trading fees in the world (always have), so we're used to it. You guys don't know how spoiled you are... Imagine if you only had 6-banks to choose from, and the government purposely encourages the monopoly to prevent foreign competition? This is what we are stuck with.
