Unfortunately this is becoming an annual occurrence.

An annual occurrence that seems to disproportionality effect the smaller contracts/micros and hence I assume retail. I suspect that for most retail traders MES is now 3 times as expensive to trade (in commissions) than ES. (Although that's still better than Micro Ether, which in exchange fees alone is 27 times more expensive to trade than the full size contract!)
