e mini traders: volume question

C

chasinfla

can some of you indicate on the poll what sort of size you trade on a daily basis? I'd appreciate it. Like "20 per round turn, 20 times a day" = 400 contracts per day.
 
I've heard that the average ticket size in the e-mini's is between 2 and 3 contracts. This means there are a lot of 1 lot traders out there.

In watching Trade Size on the emini it usually flows somethink like this ......

.......2,1,1,25,1,2,1,1,5,1,1,1,100,3,1,1,1,2,1,1,10,1,4,1,1.......
 
Quote from RAY:

Approx. 30+ (varies from 22-160); usually once a day (varies from 1-3).

So do you ever have difficulty in getting filled on sizes like that when you want it? I would think you would not have any problems.
 
You will have the same fill speeds
with size......but your average price
fill will be higher when you buy and
lower when you sell....
 
As stated above, and:

In my trading I usually buy at the bid and sell at the offer. I am not a scalper.

*Today was an 86 (Eased into my position with 3 separate orders, exited with a single order, exited too early, but I hate days like today). :mad:
 
I not only feel like a piker, I am a piker...I trade 2 to 4 contracts, most often 2, and trade on average 5 to 15 RTs a day.
