    "bang for the buck" is subjective. Depends on how each one moves. I'll take a lower volatility, smooth technical market over crack-addict chop, regardless of range. Within reason, of course as the swings have to be meaningful.

  4. yes Sir...traded the YM, ER2, 10 year note last week
     
  5. Where do you get $300 and $500 margin?
     
  6. I agree.smooth technical market is very important. I trade CAC40 which looks very smooth. Name of any other market much appreciated.
     
  7. Yes, more volatitility means quicker to blow out, get stopped and get broke. We use the YM in the Pure Tick room because its in the 'middle'.
