So are you using CME direct? what did you do to get access to CME direct?

So broker decides about CME direct - I see I thought you have to contact directly to CME is there any fees for CME direct? Is there any fees for your in house platform?

Give me more details - do you have all all strike price trading on MES or MNQ options on futures? No platform fees monthly? Also what is all in one fees per side for FOP MES and MNQ?

is CME direct available to retail clients?

Rather than worried - I am trying to find the best solution

So if we use CME direct platform with advantage - we don't pay any execution and data connection fees like we might pay to Rithmic or CQG?

Yes I tried Quant tower so will use that but with quant tower my broker say - I need data connection and recommends rithmic which has 25$ monthly fees plus tx fees per contract per side but CQG no monthly fees only tx fees - so please advise

So execution fees is 0.10$ per contract that is fixed or it depends on broker? I found I like Quant tower - and wondering what is the best option for data connection/execution?

So CTS itself is not a broker ..its just data feed and platform provider correct?

I think CQG Q trader charge min. 0.25$ per side for transaction fees and there is about 75$ monthly fees correct?

Can you please give more details ...Is this good for individual trader ..I think its only meant for firms?

Need some clarification - if I choose multicharts - I still need rithmic for cqg ? I guess yes but for what ? rithmic or cqg for order routing or for data?

So OPRA does not include data for CME options like spx/ndx or es/mes etc? its only for stock options?

ES and MES also have same tax advantage as SPX or other regular index options

Thanks but I found AMP futures charge (for micro) 0.62$ all inclusive per side so 1.24$ round trip and for ES you are right round trip is 3.80$ but for spx round trip at tastytrade is 1.65x2=3.30.

:D

But with little less known futures brokers claim less than 0.39$ brokerage per side for MES and for ES it is about 0.99 cents or less

Thanks for taking time to explain. I should have been more specific - I was mainly asking about credit spread - either put side or call side - in that case their loss is defined and margin requirement is also defined. I understand about liquidity part as regular options are more famous/familiar...

To my understanding more traders choose equity index options like spx/ndx/rut but I fail to understand why they don't trade on micro futures options of the same indices? With futures options 1. Its 24/6 hours market 2. Margin requirement is substantially less 3. With the correct broker/FCM -...
