Change the tick increment in ES from 0.25 to 0.1

And that guy was probably one of the very few making some $$ trading ES.

I think it would be great if they took the contract size up to $100 per point and reudced tick increments to .1

and what do you think about the spread: would you like to see a reduction from 0.50 to 0.10 on ES?

I personally think it should be healthy, after all only MM are gaining something from a larger spread on the index, while it is only gonna eat into our profits and magnify our losses.

Well, maybe 0.10 is too much to ask but I would gladly battle (if I knew how) to settle for 0.25-0.30

What are you talking about the tick increment is at .25 right now?

 

[Bitstream]

I was talking about the spread.

huh ? what months ES do you trade and at what hours ?
I almost always see 1 tick ( .25 ) in the
lead month spoos unless the market is closed

The few times I trade ES is after hours and the spread at that time is always 0.50.

well then ... here is an easy way to reduce the spread to .25 cents ... place your orders in between .... the bid and offer !
