  1. How many contracts do you think (or have seen) the YM can handle "all/in" "all/out" per trade with little slippage...perhaps 1-3 points of slippage?...either by experience or observation?

    Is it not apparent by the bid/ask size?
     
  3. no, not at all..those are only "limit" orders and not "market" orders...secondly...does not guarantee that the "35 at bid" will match up with someone buying 35 contracts at the market...very different...
     
  4. very impressive questions on ET these days.

    Have all the real traders made their fortunes and retired?

  9. Trade the ES, YM blows
     
  10. Veteran traders figure out what their instrument can take through their OWN observations.

    If you want an answer, watch the market trade over the couse of many weeks. Then YOU wont need to start dumb polls everyday :D
