In most cases, MRCI seasonal strategies use the contract delivery months that exhibit the strongest historical statistics. While we cannot say with certainty how alternate delivery months will perform in any specific instance, logic suggests they will generally behave similarly.
Likewise, many traders choose to trade mini or micro futures contracts because of lower margin requirements. In most cases, MRCI statistics based on full-sized contracts can also be applied to mini contracts, since they correlate 100% with the big/regular sized contracts.
For equity index traders, many market participants have transitioned from E-mini contracts to Micro E-mini contracts. For additional information, please see our article on the Transition to Micro Equity Index Contracts.
