CME Announces Latest Expansion of Equity Index Product Line

Anyone trading the CME Nikkei 225 futures and, if so, can you comment on relative advantage or disadvantage of trading the yen-denominated contract versus the USD contract? Do you have experience in both? Also, since the two contracts trade when Tokyo and Osaka exchanges are closed, any explanation of the factors that move the price? These are general questions, I know, and any information would be appreciated.
 
how come the CME has not put out a press

release showing the tax benefits of trading

ETF futures as opposed to ETF's ?

( or is there no benefit ) ?

:confused:
 
Looks like the margin requirements are 20% of the value of the contract, if I read the CME web site correctly. If that's the case I'm sticking to the minis (ES YM NQ)
 
Exch. Fees will start at .35 cents


Quote from trade4succes:

my biggest concern would be the transaction fees. Since these contracts are smaller, will the globex/clearing fee be smaller as well?

edit: and if the tick sizes will be the same as the stox, ie in ticks of .10 as opposed to .25, i might even be interested in trading the SPY future!

Post the link. This product is going to DOA if margin is that jacked. CME you are stupid ---it should be right with span!
 
Huge difference between the customer rate and the clearing rate. Largest I have seen. The member margin rate looks to be correct the customer is DOUBLE. I have never seen that big of a difference.

Seems to me this is moving in the wrong direction. They should be offering the big contract on globex. If a one lot e-mini is too big for you, I really question if you should be playing with futures.

For newbies looking to test the waters, it might be nicer.
