Kool, I have to start considering this because I'm coming around to the concept of trading a lot of Smalls over the Large.....due to the speed of reporting. Only problem is, trading multiple Small contracts you rarely get them all to Fill at the same price. Using Limits, you take the chance of not getting all of them to Fill. Then, during extreme adverse moves you take the chance of getting filled all over the place and getting crushed by the elasticity naturally inherent in the beast. So it has upside as well as downside. But still, I'd like the option so the cost of Entry becomes very important due to the ratio of current cost to potential profit in a scalp trade.
