Used to trade the ES, YM and NQ. NQ had little liquidity, erratic. YM was good there were time with 2-3 tick jumps as well, trends much better than ES. ES was just too much for me, trends very little, at least if it does, it's not enough to stay on it. Russell trends nicely and orderly once it finds directly or settled from opening. But even the opening sometimes can go straight up or straight down (this happened last few days) 10 pts easily.
torero,

I have a couple questions regarding the ER. I have been trading the YM mainly but am looking for different markets to trade especially when the YM remains dull.

Do you use MP to trade the ER? What is considered a big lot on the ER? On the YM I like to watch for any lots over 10. On the ES I would look for 40-lots and above.

Would I be able to apply pivot based trading on the ER?

Thanks

Soultrader
