no they are treated like equities.

EuroFx futures contract on CME globex is all I know of. its denominated in dollars.

There is a very good article in the new Futures magazine (cover story) by Daniel Collins that addresses the EurexUS and Chicago battle. Some possible outcomes for US Interest Rate futures seem to be: --Most of the Liquidity moves to either EurexUS or stays at Ecbot --Liquidity gets split...

I've been using traders-soft products such as metaserver for 3 years and they are very reliable. The author seems to make very good software.

Pux03, also which broker do you use to enter these trades and do you leg into it or enter the spread in one single order? Thank you.

and further... Does anybody know software or a website that will chart futures spreads. Either internet based or standalone? and if anyone trades spreads please talk about some of the most popular spread combinations (ie. bund/bobl, etc..) Thank you.

The big volume in Treasuries begans at 0820 eastern when the Pit opens. It is very tradeable starting about 3 hours earlier but the volume begins at 0820.

I use it for support and resistance for indexes and futures intraday. I would highly recommend it for this purpose. I don't use the scanning features, etc.. so I can't comment on that.

In case you didn't know.... its your brokers fault if he doesn't use the patsystems backoffice software correctly. It has the ability to show your overnight positions.

If he's short 50 contracts then I'm Paul Tudor Jones. I've been short 100 NQ contracts since the open yesterday. (Hey this is fun, I can play too)

US exchange traded futures are 1256 but if you traded on Eurex or other foreign exchanges as Lobster asked about, they may not be 1256 contracts. I don't trade these so I don't know the answer for reporting foreign contracts.
