    Looking to get into prop.

    I say this on almost every prop thread, go work for a futures trading firm, equity fills have slippage and cost too much to make any money... when you start you are trying to bang out $100 days some firms (equity) have told me that $500-1000 a day is good, you can make that (or lose it!) by...

    Tick size reduction for 5- and 30-Year U.S. Treasury contracts

    agreed, size over 100 means taking heat you don't want to take now or you could get ripped out 4-5 ticks real fast...like the TAF bullsh$t release or when Kohn speaks or ABAC or MBIA news stories spin the mkt out of control.

    Tick size reduction for 5- and 30-Year U.S. Treasury contracts

    one thing it may do is stop the gyrations in the 5 yr cash which you can see when someone misses on one side of a Basis trade, but I agree it overall sucks!
