I kinda did also. I was doing some testing
The past 2 days I was scalping the NQ for about 300 ticks after fees.
but the volume on the NQ is not very thick so u need that many ticks to make it worth while.
I figured I must condition myself to trade the ES.
The moves are smaller than the NQ and CL so I'll need to train myself to take a few ticks instead of 8 to 20 like the NQ.
My results for today was 24 ticks after commission and I did trade small since I am practicing.
Speaking of training and practice. I checked out that new micro ES and it is tradable.
For someone that wants to get their feet wet in futures the margin is about $50/contract and its $1.25 a tick
I believe the fees are about $1 r/t and data for just the MES is about $5/month.
My friend asks me about trading futures and that looks like a nice starting point to learn.
alias!
not long ago i was wondering about that micro ES but i forgot about it
you say its tradable?
there are empty levels?
or there is always some liquidity?
i also have someone that is asking me about trading
and i thought that micro contract is a pretty cool place to start
