Yes, the disadvantage in the mini is the lack of pit traders to step in and stop the drop. Or the rise, whichever.

He has a point though, even a half a point slippage wastes your edge on the commission. Even a quarter point, really. I guess sometimes it may work to your advantage but on average probably not. You may have to change the way you set Stops to use them.

Have to wait until Nemer reads that and see what he says.
