E-mini is great. BUT the commisssion of E-mini is same as S&P. Its ridiculous. You are better off buying 1 S&P for about $20 comm. as opposed to 10 e-minis for $250 comm.

Dear txx:
I do intra-day trading of the S&P contract.
I found the mini not suitable for my style. The tick is 1/4 a point vs. 1/10 for the regular contract, thus making the slippage higher.
The commission to profit ratio is five times as much as the standard. contract.

So, where is the beef??
