Account/capital size?
Minimum "non-leveraged" play in the ES is ~$140,000.
Minimum "non-leveraged" play in the ES is ~$140,000.
Not true u have the spy etf is 274$ now
1 share of SPY = $275.
1 contract of ES = "SPX x 50" = ~$140,000
(Word of wisdom... if you're going to "run your mouth" on ET, best be right on the specs or you'll be called out as a phony or know-not.)
That's not the appropriate question....
IOW... If your account/capital is >$140,000, you can trade SPY or ES with virtually no performance difference (not considering "settlement" issues). But if your capital is significantly less than $140K, it's not a matter of "SPY vs ES"... it's more a matter of leverage and its risks.
not really cause also they have different trading hours es trades 24/7 etc only during trading hours
"Not really"? Oh, come on. You've asked, "compare a $275 minimum commitment vs a $140,000 minimum commitment... which do you prefer and why?". DUH! If your bankroll is >$140K, then there is a comparison to be made. If your poke is waaaay less than $140K, then the question is absurd.
Rediculous comparison, don't you think?
But I wasn’t asking about the commitment was asking what do u prefer to trade hours and and liquidity
any how I’m going to work the markets are dead today
