Biggest problem with the ES

[ChkitOut]

Tick size is too big. should be a penny

Too thick on the bid and offer.

Low volatility as its an index of 500 stocks.


And thats my final answer.

No problem with the ES , if its too much for you to handle then maybe you should find something else to trade, like marbles

I used to love marbles as a kid. They always looked way cool.

I got no problem with the ES either, good as is.

The CME isn't going to change anything soon. If they make the ES anymore granular, it will destroy whatever is left of the SP500 pit.

Leave the ES alone. Some of us like it just the way it is

For anyone other than a large trader, I think ES provides the least amount of "trading value" of the four US indexes that I reviewed briefly:

Of course, you may define value differently than I do.
