Walt,
The big AG's at the CBOT is what I'm referring to. That's where the money is.

Look at today's activity in the big three: Corn, Wheat and Soybeans. 10 cent move down, then back up. Same tick value as the ES ($12.50/tick). Margins are comparable too.

Need I say more? Here's a couple of CBOT seminars to whet your appetite:

CBOT - Why Stock Index Futures Traders Will Love Trading Corn, Wheat & Soybeans

CBOT - Trading the Grains: Tools for Spotting Profit Opportunities

The .pdfs attached on those pages should also provide additional insight for you.
You are totally correct. The money is in the big contracts like Soybeans....Corn etc... The margin is insane though....it's so low? Why does it feel like I'm getting alot of bang for the buck here? Maybe my calculations are wrong.
