Less Than 1 Emini Contract

[trade4life 10]

Can you trade less than 1 e mini contract, for example can i buy 1 contract then close close the contract in increments of 1/3.

No. This is already the "mini" contract, remember, and has a much smaller tick value than the big S&P contract.

 

One possibility (depending on what you're doing, where you live, and definitely not for daytrading) is to use spreadbetting or CFDs to trade in smaller increments.

 

Another option, once again depending on what you're doing, would be an ETF such as SPY.

 

Some of the currency futures contracts are much smaller than others, and it is possible to get "micro" accounts that allow you to trade smaller lots on the spot FX market.

 

Hope that's helpful,
