Hello, Would someone be able to post a picture of a 1 minute chart of the ES or SPY on the April 4th 2000 trading day? Also the NQ and QQQ chart would be appreciated as well! Thanks in advance!

Exactly. The liquidity should only increase.

Yes I agree about the market will trend as much as it will trend, however look at the TF. You can see because of the smaller tick size, it DOES tend to over shoot sometimes, meaning the possibility of an extra tick here and there. It would bring more volume to the market, and it should bring...

Haha lol, I get that a lot ;)

Thanks for the reference!

Although I am FOR a larger multiplier that is electronic (as the pit is going away). I don't believe that having a 0.01 spread will attract volume and liquidity. Big players want SIZE to do their business, and a having a 0.01 tick size will not bring that. The lowest I would go would be...

To be honest, I don't think it would change pit-emini arb that much. For example if the pit is 1120.10 bid at 1120.50 offer, and the emini is 1120.30 bid at 1120.40 offer, some one would still be able to over cut the bid in the pit and immediately sell the bid in the emini. There should be no...

Yes, exactly. In fact if this tick size did change, it would be easier to move through bids and offers, there fore we may actually see MORE movement than with quarters. A one point move in quarters from 1181-1182 might be 1181-1182.10 in dimes, therefore allowing you to squeeze out another $50...

Also! The s&p 500 emini is normally what drives the other indexes. If we could reduce the tick size, it would be easier for breakouts to occur, as levels would be reduced faster. This in turn would create an easier trending contract.

The large market participants only care about doing their business at a price with little or no slippage. The ES gives them this with its high liquidity. HOWEVER, if they changed the tick size, they would still be able to do this, in fact probably with better price discovery. Although I agree...

Just trying to get some attention to my thread and "cause", check out my thread on changing the ES tick size for the better of ES traders! Please share your thoughts and opinions, and most of all vote! Let's see if we can get a petition going...

I do, I trade all 4 major index futures. HOWEVER: If I send an order of 30+ cars into the YM, I'll get slippage. Definitely wouldn't see that if the ES changed to dimes. Plus, if they do change the ES tick size, there will be more spreading between the YM and the ES, bringing for volume to...

I started trading the ES back in the early 2009 era, coming out of the decline of 08'. Back then, the S&P emini was still very volatile, and it was normally moving through ticks and levels very quickly. However, as volatility has declined, the ranges in the S&P emini have also contracted...

I do hope this would not be a problem, but would you be able to format that data from tradestation to the ninja trader format for me? I think this is a guide for doing so: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt7/index.html?importing.htm If that is how you did it, I must be doing...

This is kind of a noob question, but how would I be able to chart this data? Im guessing I would use excel, but I dont know how I would do that.

Although it is not a scam, Online Trading Academy would have to be at the top for me money wise. $15k (multiple courses) for something I mostly likely could have learnt myself online or by tinkering with platforms. ALTHOUGH OTA is for some people who are slow learners, and need that...

This is exactly why a Demo account is not realistic. Although price did touch 1330, it touched it on the offer, so there is no guaruntee on a real account that you would have been filled short there.

Thank you so much!
