I voted smaller. I would like ES .10 tick and $10 for that tick = $100 a point rather then the current $50

Quote from Gabfly1:

ES has the largest tick size of all the minis. When was the last time you were able to buy the bid or sell the offer? Perhaps I'm somewhat myopic, but I see a larger tick size as increasing the cost of doing business. More often than not, you'll pay more to get in and get less to exit.

I voted smaller.

My own $0.02.

The first may happen one day.. not holding by breath though..

The second is very unlikely, as it will mean a fall in revenues for CME, unless they increase their fees for ES at the same time..
