I find /ES futures options to be more liquid. Especially after
hours. 1.00 b/a which immediately becomes .50 once you place your
order. But you can actually get filled mid-market. I’ve always been
a commodity and futures guys so maybe I’m biased but I really
prefer /ES mini to any of the SP products. Same 1256 60/40
tax treatment as the bigs and never a “Daytrading rule”.
