6E daily $ range 2.5 greater than ES, why trade ES ?

10 times the liquidity perhaps?
Although the cash EUR/USD probably trades with the same depth as ES.
Also i doubt if the range for EUR is 2.5x ES during the US session. It is if you include the European session.
Quote from moarla:
i dont understand this also. you can make so much money on EUR future or cash...liquidity for all traders on ET should not be a problem also))
If you have a preference for stocks indexes over currencies, then you trade stock indexes.
The fact is the mini ES and mini DOW are small contracts.
The TF (Russell 2K) gives a more comparable bang for your buck compared to 6E.
yes, i guestimate the av d v of the ES at about 14 times the 6E
and whether or not there's low v o-n, the markets Are 24 hr so
major price moves can occur during that time period as they did
this time last year for the indexes. i think that's why there's often
an 11 or noon est v high, the europeans closing positions before
going home
haven't checked the rth stats, there was a whacking move during
the small hrs last night/morning in the 6E, guess you just have to
grab what you can when you can

Because I know the ES like the back of my hand and, getting to that level in another market, will take years.
i can understand you not switching R. Raskolnikov, the fx does have different
price patterns and movement
Mav88, i remember posting some trades quantities info for the ES, it showed
that trades went thru at multiples of 4 up to 40
i'm trading simulator so i'm getting fills, just how much slippage are you talking
about ? tho i know the 6E can move a point or two very quickly, so what do you
do, enter 2 and re-enter another 2 ?
