So what's wrong? The multiplier is the same, $20 * future or index, whatever, there's a basis, but the equivalency is always the same - 800 shares per e-mini. Not 850, not 750, 800. Unless the CME changes the multiplier...
A move on the QQQ is approx 1/40 of a move on the NQ ( naz emini ). In other words a .30 move on the QQQ is equal to a 12 point futures move. The NQ's move in $20 per contract, per point, increments.
800 shares QQQ X .30 = $240
1 NQ contract X 12 points = $240
commission is less on Futures but as your size increases it is near the same as trading the QQQ with size.
