    How the mini move of index future is set ?

    How the mini move of index future is set ?

    I guess you are asking why the spread is 0.25 and not 0.1 like the large contract ? The mini tick size should now only be 0.1 instead of 0.25 . When the ES was first introduced it did not have the liquidity so was priced with a bigger spread , now the ES has enormous liquidity which has...

    How to create my own index

    Neoticker is specially built for the purpose of building specific equally weighted or weighted indicies without using their programming side of things . What I mean by this is they have a section called "user define manager" where by you have all the symbols of your index and you can set the...
