Makes much more sense to just break 1 contract up into quarters.
1/4 contract($3.12 per tick), 1/2 contract($6.25 per tick), 3/4 contract($9.36 per tick)
Allows risk to be managed, allows for scaling 2+ contracts at a time, keeps costs in-line with main product, liquidity is not a problem. Can still make a profit trading a product with average of 4 tick rotations before being stopped out at best entries.
