Has anyone traded the Big Dow? The tick increments are 5 times the YM but is anyone familiar with the price movements of the BIG DOW?
I did trade the DOW some years ago

Nowadays, it usually (not always) move slower than futures. New money are comming into futures especially e-mini's I used to track them(DOW/SPX) against other instruments. Like for instance, If futures were moving but DOW/SPX were quiet, usually that movement won't last. It can be used the other way around.

Still have them on my charts, but I include them on my sector's list. I prefer to track them by price better than charts.

As to trade them, well if you have the money. Personally I don't recomend it.

A friend of mine told me about 2 years ago that futures and e-mini's are the "future" Now I think he's rigth

Still, the "big boys" pour insane amounts of money into the DOW/SPX

Only time will tell.
