<DIV>LeoWeb is excellent for trading the full scope of futures contracts, 
however, as you have found, you are paying a large premium to trade the e--mini. 
The e-mini is a fully electronic system end-to-end and the quality of fill will 
be the same at $4/rt as $20/rt. The broker's servers, back office and support 
will vary from firm to firm and the deep discount firms will likely score on the 
low end. If you are trading a lot of e-mini, I would open an e-mini account with 
a deep discount e-mini broker and keep your LeoWeb for backup (offsetting 
trades) on those occasions when the deep discount broker is unavailable as well 
as using LeoWeb for full contracts.</DIV>

  <DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Arial size=2><STRONG>Should the E-Mini 
  commission be less than the full contract?&nbsp; Seems to me it should 
  be.&nbsp; I know Field Financial advertises $3.98 per side for the E-Mini and 
  $7.98 per side for all other commodity contracts.&nbsp; This is for direct 
  online internet trading and includes all fees.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
