ES Futures and Euro Stoxx 50 Futures commisions and points

[wuannetraam]

I am trading the ES Futures with 2 contracts. 1 point move (4 ticks) makes me $100. With commisions around $90,-
I live in Europe and would like to try trading the Euro Stoxx 50 futures. 1 point move is $10,-
To make the same amount of money as in the ES I need to trade with 10 contracts to make $100,-. I tried this with playback connection. After commision it leaves me with $64.20.

Is this normal? Would that mean that I can not trade the same way as I trade the ES? Mostly 1 point scalps.

Hello wuannetraam,

Yes, this is as expected as the FESX futures has a "per-unit commission" of 1.79. This means it calculates a commission of 1.79 per unit per side. 1.79 * 10 (units) = 17.9 * 2 (per side - entry & exit) = 35.8

Please feel free to post any additional questions you may have.
