I've looked seriously at the e-mini S&P contract and I think it stinks.
With a point value of only $50.00 you need to make a heck of a lot of S&P
points to make any money, even when trading multiple lots. I can't make my
trading systems profitable unless I use the Big S&P, or the Nasdaq 100
futures contract(symbol ND). Since the Big S&P is out of my price range
for now, I trade the ND with a margin of $7,965. It's affordable. And
the moves in ND are very nice. Tick value is $100.00 per big point. You
might want to consider ND as an alternative to the mini S&P. Round turn
slippage I have experienced with ND has been $150 on average.
