Actually, trading Multiple E-Minis can be more of a pain than multiple Spoos. For Example, I had a Buy in Early today at 1316 even.....it ticked there and ran to around 1325 but was I done? Nope.....Never got a Fill. Now with the Spoo I could have used MIT and been okay. Same thing with Stops...you have 10 Contracts of the Mini at a Stop you might get Fills all over the board. Still, as far as the Rules are concerned I think a Limit is a Limit and Slippage should not be a penalty. <when you keep a position for overnight> Bite your tongue <do you have a stop in place > Actually, when I do something crazy like that I stay up much of the night and watch it......no Stop. Too thin at night. I try to awake at Key Times. Times Like 4 AM, around when Japan Closes, just before 8:30 Eastern for reports and so forth.
