I would like to hear your thoughts on this particular topic I came across. The ES is the Mike Tyson of emini's. Approx $4trillian dollars exchange hands in the ES everyday. In order to manipulate such a market this requires tremendous deep pockets.
The large volume on the ES and the big traders that attract this contract requires alot more risk to manipulate in comparison to contracts like the Dow or Russell.
Couldnt a 1000 lot trader/fund easily manipulate a contract like the YM? Maybe not for the ES but how big of an impact do large funds have on the manipulation of price? |

Look at time and sales- a 1000 lot trader could make the YM move, the ES would yawn at a 1000 lot.
