MYM Micro Dow Futures Trading Journal
MYM is the gateway to Dow futures for smaller accounts. At $0.50 per point, it's accessible but still requires disciplined tracking. TradeRipper captures every MYM trade automatically on Tradovate.
The Micro E-mini Dow (MYM) is popular with new futures traders and prop firm traders because of its smaller notional value. At $0.50 per point, the P&L per trade is modest — which means commissions represent a larger percentage of your profits. Tracking net P&L (after fees) is essential.
TradeRipper computes MYM P&L at $0.50/point and includes Tradovate commissions automatically. This is especially important for scalpers who might make $5-10 per trade but pay $1-2 in commissions — that's 10-40% of gross profits eaten by fees.
The analytics dashboard shows your MYM performance alongside other instruments. Compare your MYM results with your MES or MNQ results to find which micro contract gives you the best edge-to-commission ratio.
