I've traded both, too...and I can tell you ER gives me a heart attack! YM fits my personality to a T, so I feel like we're meant to be together. ER is fast paced, jerky, volatile....and YM is smooth. It's kinda like... Sex Pistols vs Barry White. Insane vs extra smooth. |

Well said Tin!
I am the same way - while hindsight trading looks great on the ER2, you must be very quick and nimble there. There's no waiting around for you to make a decision. The YM doesn't always move as 'fast' and you can take that extra second or 2 to get your order out there.
I would also add the NQ to the equation as well. It's kind of a mix of the ER and YM - not too fast, but not too slow either. Some days the NQ is my bread and butter. Why do some people ignore this market? It can provide some great moves while waiting for the YM to do something.
I also like the EC, so it has nothing to do with tick value since the EC is $12.50/tick.
