Suprised how thin MGC (mini gold) is

1 Contract on bid, $5 wide?

Why? Interest in all financial markets is crumbling.

Whats wrong with the big contract?
Why would anyone trade the smaller more illiquid ones?

 

[atrocious]

Sure you looking at the de facto front Z16? I haven't seen it wider than a buck, usually 50 cents

The reason to use a smaller contract vs a bigger one is that it gives more accurate balance when spreading.

Ahaaaahaa. Yeah I was looking at the wrong contract. It is much tighter. Still, the size on bid/ask is pretty dismal, imo.
