Prop Trading eminis

This is an interesting question. It was pointed it out to me that the main reason for going prop. is for leverage and shorting (on down-ticks with bullets/conversions). Since those are essentially non issues with the mini's, what other reasons might you have?



My question also.

All we require is $100K in equity to trade them, and the costs are not great (again, since we find trading equities so much easier for the traders).

Don,

Out of curiosity why do you only require 25k for equities vs. 100k for futures...

Don,

I find this statement a bit contradictory??? Why would an "excellent" trader get in any market whether it be stocks,futures,options, he wasn't sure he had an edge in???

What makes these guys such excellent traders if they are not turning a profit???

Understand Don I am not challenging you here I am just trying to understand...

PEACE and good trading,

"more contracts has liquidity issues.
Imagine trying to get out of 20-50 NQ contracts..."


MVP! I trade a lot more than 40-50 contracts. Sorry if I failed to mention that my strategy is not about scalping 1 point on 2 contracts. Thanks.
