Everyone here is well aware of the ES mini futures contract. it controls currently $143,950 for one contract and moves $50 for one point, so a 100 point move in ES would be $5000, highly leveraged. 

However there's now a micro ES contract symbol MES. It controls exactly 1/10 of the regular ES, so $14,395 or moves $5 for every point. For those who didn't like the leverage of the ES, the micro MES might be something to consider as it's much easier to stomach draw downs.

futures of course have benefit of the 60/40 tax rule with 60% of the gains being taxed as long term cap gains, vs stocks and options that have to be held for a year to get that special tax benefit. 

I've traded this contract the last couple days, it's very liquid.

anyway figured I'd share in case you were not aware of it. I think it's a good option over ES because even if you had plenty of capital, it allows you to scale out: For example if you were comfortable buying one ES contract, you could buy 10 MES contracts representing the same value and scale out of them a couple at a time on a move, you have 10 scale outs you could do, whereas with 1 ES contracts you can only sell it once and you are out! For 2 ES contracts you would have 20 MES
