Out of curiosity I wonder this: how will the market react differently to these different number of contracts. What would the slippage be like? another question: what percent of prop traders are trading 100, 500, 1000?

The difference in slippage depends on how many resting orders are present at the level being traded at that particular point in time.

This should illustrate
