Mini vs Micro charts

[ninza33]

Is there a difference between mini and micro charts? For example, ES and MES. Do they move exactly same or there could be some difference depending upon volume?

Hello ninza33,

Thank you for posting.

These are separately traded instruments therefore may not move exactly the same and will not have the same traded volume. The Micro E-mini S&P 500 Futures has a tick value of $1.25 per tick which is a tenth of the tick value of the regular E-mini S&P 500 Futures $12.50 per tick, may have different margin requirements, commissions, etc. however to verify this information I would suggest contacting your broker directly.

Let me know if I may be of further assistance.
