I agree the MidCap 400 is thin now, but I suspect that to change when the Russell moves to ICE.

Tom,

Does AT have any ICE contracts active right now?

FS,

Nothing with ICE right now. We will write to the ICE exchange for the Russell 2000.

I'm curious, do you currently trade any products on ICE?
If so, have you ever had any issues with the way ICE handles stop orders?
It is possible for stops to be traded thru on ICE and be unable. I know they are working on this but currently it is not a very comforting scenario.

Best regards,

Tom

Today for the first time I have observed the EMD and I liked what I saw. I was trading the russell because of the added profit, but didn't like the whip-saw action too much. The EMD will crank out the same profit with a better flowing action with fewer surprises. I compared back history on line charts of the EMD and the russell, the EmD appeared better and easier to read, where as the russell had more of a random nature before a solid move. I have always like a chart that ticks in tenths of a point, which makes for a better flowing chart, instead of the ES which is more blocky. Volume need to pick up,...early morning was difficult. Will take more observations to get a better grip on my opinion. Conclusion: the EMD has the cranking profit potential of the russell, with fewer whip-saw action.

Pretty good understatement. Volume in that contract is anemic at best. I also like the tick value/range component of ER2 and tried trading a few 1 lots of EMD a few weeks ago and honestly, I didn't care for it much. Try watching it on an overnight session sometime, could drive an 18 wheeler sideways through the bid/ask spread. That contract has a long, long way to go if it is going to become the CME's replacement for The Russell.
