Walter,

There is no free lunch. Tradeoffs work in both directions. The ES is the blessed mother of eminis and home of the professionals. Great liquidity. Less noise? Perhaps, but not a place for novices. More like the Texas Hold Em of trading.

Caveat emptor.
I disagree 100%. Just b/c the professionals are there does not mean this is the 'texas hold em of trading'. The texas hold em of trading is the ER2, or QM or Natural Gas...

The ES is one of the most smooth indexes and I don't see how you could call that the texas hold em when you have the ER2 and it's erratic moves right there in front of you.
