Suprised how thin MGC (mini gold) is

1 Contract on bid, $5 wide?

 

Why? Interest in all financial markets is crumbling.

 

Whats wrong with the big contract?
Why would anyone trade the smaller more illiquid ones?

 

Sure you looking at the de facto front Z16? I haven't seen it wider than a buck, usually 50 cents

 

The reason to use a smaller contract vs a bigger one is that it gives more accurate balance when spreading.

 

Ahaaaahaa. Yeah I was looking at the wrong contract. It is much tighter. Still, the size on bid/ask is pretty dismal, imo.
