Re: Better for scalping: ES or YM?
This is because you only have to pay a margin on futures to buy a contract unless you take delivery. But price changes take full effect on your account not only the money you had to pay for buying the contracts.
e.g. E-mini S&P: $12.5 per tick * 50 contracts = $750 per tick
It just takes 10 S&P points to lose 30k, that's less than 1% at the moment.
