MICROS volume is impressive and at 1/10 the size, MICROS offer a few advantages over the “regular-minis” both for smaller accounts, beginners and for traders who like to use the MICROS as hedge for current positions rather than a stop. More on the MICROS here.

So volatility was away on vacation for a few months and decided to come back enhanced…
Market is awaiting news with Trump/China/Tariffs.
Don’t under estimate the power of volatility and the quick punishment it can cause….
Think trade size, risk management – Have the larger picture in mind of what you are trying to do….
Here is a good article I wrote on the topic a while back and is still very valid:
RISK
It is a four letter word. As traders it is something that we thrive on and dread.
We chase and fear. We look for and look to avoid. It is RISK. Without it, there is no opportunity for profit. Without it trading lacks potential. With it, failure and heartache are the consequences when it is abused.
Risk itself is not a bad thing. When it is misused by traders, it becomes a problem. Controlled risk presents traders with exciting and profitable opportunities. Uncontrolled, it brings the end to the dreams and careers of many traders.
How should we as traders confront risk? The first step is to respect it.
Realize the damage it can do to our account equities when it is abused. The two most important tools that we have to control risk are stops and position size. Read More…..

Dear Traders,

Nice start for the MICROS so far, at least from volume perspective. the question is how much of the volume is from market makers and how much from retail clients?
MICROS ES ( MES) traded approx. 250,000 contracts today!
MICRO NQ ( MNQ) traded approx. 175,000 contracts today!
MICRO YM ( MYM) traded approx. 60,000 contracts today!
MICRO RTY, mini Russell 2000 ( M2K) traded approx. 16,000 contracts today!
Here are some thoughts ( my personal thoughts….):
  • The MICROS are a good tool for perhaps hedging a trade you are in. Example, you are short ES, market going against you but you dont want to get stopped or get out, you buy x number of contracts to hedge x% of your current position.
  • MICROS may be a good start for newcomers and smaller accounts.
  • MICROS can be a nice transition from trading a demo account and before moving on to the standard size.
  • MICROS may provide more flexibility for traders who like to average up and down…..
  • Last but not least, the MICROS could be a good way to initiate longer term positions with lower leverage.
Either way, the MICROS have a few good things to offer as well as some pointers to understand, read more…..
