Does anyone know how many small contracts equal a big contract?

unless i'm reading this wrong AFAIK, it's 1000. (see OP links to cme). the micro is 1 barrel (IMO that is too small). your commissions will be ridiculous trading these things. my prediction: the volume will never be there and the product will slowly fade away.

How useless. Why don't they make a 100 lot contract?
