Burney - I'd heard from one 'big boy' who trades a minimum 100 lots that ES is far better to trade than the main S&P. I can't remember his reasons, but I think they had something to do with margin requirements by his brokers. Therefore with a lower percentage margin on ES the risk is less for him.
Interesting point-I hadn't thought of it like that-have checked out of interest Margin requirements from my own Broker-wouldnt work at moment Margin is around 5 x Mini contract for Full S&P same as difference in $ per Point.However if I remember correctly last lot of margin requirements would have made it viable.(I will just be happy when I have enough account size to do either safely

PualoP - I'm not sure of the spread on the main S&P; I don't think we've had anyone here who has ever traded main S&P!
