My view is simple Bear - if you can make money trading, would you rather have $12.50/tick or $5/tick? All things being equal, I want $12.50.
This is assuming of course your system makes money over time. |

As a noob I look at it the opposite. Would I rather risk $5 per tick or risk $12.50 per tick? But I often think about fills and slippage between the 2. I'm a small timer so either could absorb my impact without a trace.
If/when I move up in lot size or feel my system is good to go I'll switch over to the ES and keep the YM for hedging use mainly.
