The mini Dow has gotten off to a slow start. IMO the mini contract is just too mini. The larger pit traded contract has become much more liquid as of late though. Spreads are generally a nickel wide for size with 1 lots trading in between. Still no where near the notional volume of either version of S&P's.

Can anybody share their experience on trading Dow Jones Futures and DJ e-minis? What's the liquidity like vs. SPH2. Also, does one need a separate CBOT vs. CME feed to trade them?
I have done that in the past. We traded same same system in S&P as well as in DOW futures. DOW`s equity curve was smoother, losses were smaller (versus S&P). No problems with liquidity.
At that time we needed separate data stream from CBOT and I believe You will still need that.
However some S&P strategies do not work well in DOW, and vice versa.
