Any advantage to trading Eminis vs spiders?

Quote from Nofear777:

Are there many people who consistently make money trading the minis?

THE CME's IOM division has 1,287 seats. You have to assume the majority of those seatholders are making money or else they would get rid of their seats. There are also 625 CME seats and 813 IMM seats that can trade the eminis.

These days the leases and sales are going at a discount as well. If you have enough money, now is a good time for buying because they're at about 50% discounts, at least they were.


That will save you a boat load on commissions. It will also impress people if you want to attract investors. Just check the web site for info.

unless you have $100,000...not worth it to trade the SPY...you got $5,000...daytrade ES at $500 daytrade margin
