will 'this' happen or 'that' happen when 30 Year TBond tick size changes?
when it changes from $31 tick size now to $15 tick size on March 3rd...

*a 'move' would double?...meaning say a 5 minute move went 5 ticks currently would then move 10 ticks?
*all broker daytrade margins would be 'halfed'...

please chime in and over you thoughts...thanks...INow...

Somehow I doubt it.

Performance bonds (margin) are generally based on the contracts value and volatility, not tick size.

what do you think about the other points?...would the trading volume go down because traders are less 'attracted' to it with the smaller $15 tick?

Example : starting price 116-00, market rallies to 117-00 approximately a 0.9% move. Whether it's 32/32nds or 64/64ths
it's still a 0.9% move isn't it?
 
do you forsee yourself choosing a market to trade anytime in the near future? Or do you plan on spending a number of years asking every single question about every single futures market out there?

Liquidity will drop off
Depth will drop off
Volume will drop off
Prices will run more because of this

Look at the BOBL which reduced tick size in last June. It looks like it's been abandoned. . The schatz now kills it on a daily basis as far as volume goes.

Of course. The smaller the tick, the less incentive there is to front-run.
