Can you allow for smaller and fractional sizing of contracts ... as many contract sizes are too large for retail traders - especially Commodities.
The fractional sizing would allow for more accurate money management/position sizing.
Given that it's all just numbers handle by computers - it should matter whether your order is 0.10 / 1.0 / 10 or 1,000 etc - would it not?
Your Risk Mgt/Market Marking again would be off an aggregate of numbers - so again, it shouldn't matter, if individual trades are 0.1 or 1,000 etc.
It would also allow trader to explore these larger markets - with small sizes with REAL money - as a Demo account is psychologically not the same as a Live account.
And from your perspective you would be getting greater turnover / commissions etc
And I'm sure your are aware your major competitors have significantly smaller sizes allowed?
You are giving away market share to them in this area??
