TF Vs ES Ticks?

[shooly76 10]

if 4 ticks=1 ES point, and 10 ticks=1 TF point, doesnt that make it "easier" to get points trading the ES?

 

I know 1 ES point= $50, and 1 TF point=$100

 

...but still seems like its easier and faster to get points trading the ES

 

am I missing something here? like is my math wrong or something (tick value)?

I don't know the answer to your question, but my strategy is to take whatever the market gives me. I don't know what's easy in trading except for loosing money.

 

Both the Russell and the ES had a relatively big move up at the same time at 10 am today. On a 1 minute chart, the Russell went from 796.1 to 797.6 the ES went from 1271.50 to 1274.50 in one minute. But then the Russell went higher in the next 3 minutes, and the ES did not go higher at the same time. The Russell went to 799.3 in the next 3 minutes, the ES went down.

 

Unless someone did a long term comparison and statistically analyzed the data, I don't know that any verifiable claims could be made.

 

Maybe someone could give an opinion as the comparisons between the Russell and the ES.
