Micros are winning in volumes now!

I logged back in to see what was going on, here's an updated volume bit as of two minutes ago...



MNQ still the leader, hehe. I suspect these numbers will flip by EOD tomorrow.

 

That's true for US index futures.

for Dax & Nikkei, there is not much volume for its mini/micro.
many people trade big size dax & Nikkei contracts.
strange ...

 

I am seeing 100K in mini DAX for friday about the same as big DAX.

Also mini DAX is 1/5th of large DAX.

Had it been 1/10th like the micros are it would have even more volume.

 

you are right

 

just means most traders are peanut size traders.

 

But the notional value is less .... dramatically so.

 

With this tremendous volatility, MICROS make a lot of sense. Also margins have increased quite a bit.
If you are a trader that likes to average up and down, scale in and out, i would use the MICROS for any account less than $25,000.
Here is a good quick read on the MICROS:

Got to say crappy formatting to follow along. Annoying popups and sidebars. Gets in the way of the message.

 

YM flipped, but not by much! MNQ is still the standout at EOD...

 

Annoying pop up Ads - gave up,
