    Important question though is what will the commissions be. At least in ES, when you make a tick, you also make about $8 for yourself. With NQ, if you make a tick, you get about $1, but at least you covered commissions. With 1/10 the value, you will now need to make a few ticks just to break even if the commissions will stay around $4 roundtrip per contract.

    If history is a guideline, and I am referring to the micro currency and ag contracts, the commissions/fees will be less than the larger contracts. But as you correctly point out, the net breakeven for the micros is more than 1 tick. I'm guessing the .50 cent tic for naz, dow, and russ will require 5 or 6 tics to NET BE. Just a guess tho.

    These micro-minis are aimed squarely at retail. Good for business, but really, only specific types of participants and trade styles.

    What's the excuse going to be now for the perennial emini demo ("on top of the world") traders?

    Most of the micro's I see these days have such tiny volume. It'd be great if these actually get some traction from the get go.

    PS, thanks OP for the heads up. Glad i joined Elite, lots of good info and folks here. I appreciate all of you.

    *hiss* Why does volume matter?!? You'll get your fill if you put your order in! Don't try to trade 100 contracts on a micro, mmkay? Just trade a couple, you will get your fills. *starts beating up an inflatable clown, to relieve the stress*
