Re: Other liquid mini contracts?

Just multiply the tick value by the ATR and you have a contract with similar risk/reward characteristics. For YM at the moment it's $650, which is about the same as the full-sized ags, British Pound futures and treasury futures.

Do you have a paper account with IB? Just pull up all the big ECBOT and GLOBEX contracts and randomly buy and sell stuff to see what your typical winnings/losses will be. I recommend GBP futures, ZN, QM and ZC.
