Software side will be an issue. You would probably be hedged and after the close the position could close out internally. We will just have to wait and see.
Transaction costs are not the same. So to a degree, price should not be the same either. One could calculate the expected difference with some assumptions.
Micros will still cost you an extra tick per round turn. If you've got so much expectancy that this doesn't matter to you then please post your trading system!
Separately, if you read the first part of the thread, you'll see micros are hardly an idea of the week; they've been in the pipeline a long time. And FWIW, even if they prove to be very popular, revenue wise they will be a flea on the butt of an elephant. So I can't agree the notion that this is a scam by a desperate company.
Frankly, I think you are a bit cynical. That's fine, but again FWIW, I haven't seen many cynical traders out there banking solid profits.
I think it will take at least a few weeks for the MES to build enough volume to narrow the point spread to something very close to the ES, but I expect that it will happen soon.
The MES should be great for testing trading systems & trading ideas, without ever needing to use a sim acct.
