Yeah, if you don't have much money, it don't much matter what your trading. You're going to have to be down right good to make any money. That or lucky. Still if I only had say, $5,000 and had to pick something to trade, it would be the e-mini. Then again, I'm not exactly new at trading. Just at trading the e-mini. A decent trader could do quite will starting with only $5,000 trading it. But not a newbie just cutting their teeth.
