Micro Contract

What it means

Micro contracts usually mirror the same underlying market as the larger standard contract but at a smaller dollar-per-tick scale.

What to watch

Liquidity and cost structure can differ from the standard contract, so traders should verify that the smaller product still fits their workflow.
