CME Currency Futures Alternatives.

[walterjennings]

Does anyone know of any alternatives to CME Currency Futures? im hoping to find similar futures / contract sizes (125k) or maybe even larger futures (1mil+) elsewhere. Thanks.

ah yes i forgot about those. i forgot to mention i need futures that are tradable through IB. IB has NYBOT but only access to a handful of agricultural futures, no currency pairs..

whatever you do, stay away from the bandits in spot forex. they will milk you dry. stay with regulated futures.

Not sure, but since they're only traded in the pits, prepare to bent over..

If you're with IB why not trade IdealPro spot fx? Orders are executed with the banks, nothing like the retail bucket shops. What have you got against CME currency futures anyway?
