For those wanting to trade
Micros most firms are not going to allow it until Tuesday open, so chill out. I know its exciting sunday open with the news, but firms need to be ready to test it live before they offer it to you.
I was wondering, all the hype and I couldn't find it on TOS yesterday. I'll check again this morning.

Are you using paper trading or a live account? I was unable to find /MES on the paper trading software, but in the live software /MES was trading.
Edit: This was yesterday afternoon.

Not a fan of the spreads on these (at least NQ). Quite often looking at 3+ ticks. Maybe that will improve over time.

What i don't understand is how can the book looks heavier on the micros but the spread is so variable?

It's probably because the level 1 barely has liquidity.

range you are seeing?
It depends what indice i am looking at. For the MES it is about 1-2 ticks most of the time, the others i have seen 3 -5 ticks. I did not make an exhaustive study but just a quick assessment at around noon ET.
