Sure. Short 1 ES, long 1 ES. Guess what. You're flat.

what are you, an idiot? double up!

So obviously the DD is a huge failure, with only 10-20 contracts trading per day. There has also been a large decline in interest in the YM since the increase in CBOT exchange rates, which has renderred the $5 dow mini to look comparatively worse to competing products at the CME. Moreover...

+500.2% 80,341 trades.

ppfff.... 400k? I'd double up.

I don't know the validity of this, but I heard they were thinking about suspending the mini dow for a quarter to "force" people onto the big dow. Anyone else hear those rumors?

The change to quater-tick increments was a bad idea. Now we have even lower volume since the product is now less attractive to trade. Do they have a bunch of monkeys working at the CME?

yes, i'm experiencing them too.

They're going to need to give the DD a jump-start some how, otherwise the prospects for it's survival are looking very very poor.

I don't see what the hold up is. The spread is only 1-2 ticks wide.

Yeah, it is. Get in there and trade folks!

Let's get it started folks. Who are the brave ones here trading the big DDs?

is there a newsgroup for this forum? Reading this forum is so inefficient, especially on a 400+ page thread.
