Here's an idea, instead of paying $400/month to trade on the simulator to what likely amounts to a fake prop firm-- just trade the micros with optimal fractional kelly position sizing.

Well, I went on to IB to possibly trade a MES and order not accepted "only allowed for certain testing accounts" ...

It's not like they didnt know this was coming. Annoying. The volumes traded so far as quoting as very low although could certainly be wrong on TWS. MYM shows 0 volume.

I wonder if they will have this up and going for regular session tomorrow...

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.

The MES should be great for testing trading systems & trading ideas, without ever needing to use a sim acct.

This is absolutely the most interesting thing!!! Testing trading system could became painless compared to big contracts testing!

Anyone know which brokers will be allowing customers to trade micros on Monday?

I placed some test live limit orders away from the market (Amp/Sierrachart/CQG). Orders are being accepted.

ES 512 tick ≈ MES 10 tick

At least the same price.
