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.
TOS yesterday. I'll check again this morning.

Not a fan of the spreads on these (at least NQ). Quite often looking at 3+ ticks. Maybe that will improve over time.

It's probably because the level 1 barely has liquidity.

What i don't understand is how can the book looks heavier on the
micros but the spread is so variable?
