Reducing the tick size on the Emini S&P to .10 from .25 would be like reducing the commission per contract from $12.50 to $5. If you trade 20 contracts a day that would be a cost savings of $150 a day or $39,000 a year. So, this is more than just âan interesting academic discussionâ.

From your statement, you must make a living arbitraging the Emini. When tick size goes to .10 to match the big contract there will still be opportunities to play market maker with a .10 spread. Nasdaq market makers make a living with a penny spread in many cases.

OK, Peace. Anything to reduce the long lines. Scalping is getting to be like taking the kids to Disney World everyday. Smaller tick, more rides, shorter lines.
