Hello Traders,
I was talking to a client of mine about “other markets to trade other than the mini SP” and we were chatting on how the mini SP market has many institutions and large size traders which sometimes make it harder to get filled on limit orders. Not just that, the mini SP500 simply has a different “personality” than most other markets…Don’t get me wrong, I like the mini SP a lot because it CAN handle volume. If you are looking at other markets, than the mini Nasdaq 100 might be another stock index to look at.
When it comes to crude oil, I just found out today that BRENT CRUDE which trades on ICE Europe actually has higher volume…..
Just some food for thought and “knowledge sharing”
Chart of BRENT CRUDE OIL ( “north sea crude” ) below for your review:
