It is my understanding that volume bar charts complete a candle/bar when x number of shares/contracts/lots are traded. For shares and contracts its pretty straight forward, but for lots, what size lots are typically used to count the volume? Micro, mini, standard? Thanks.

hhmmmmm, thanks for the heads up!

excellent! thank you for the responses, both were very helpful!

Hello all! It is my understanding that the bid/ask spread on ES is pretty consistent with staying at 1 tick, but I dont know much about "slippage", I use this in quotes because I'm probably using the wrong terminology here. My area of concern mainly is about what kind of fills to expect when I...

Hi guys, I've just signed up with AMP on a buddy's recommendation, this is my first live futures account. Recently, I've been seeing things about AMP sliding in some incorrect charges and some people mentioning concerns over their customer service. These seem to be 2 reoccurring themes when...
