This is a diff ball game.. "Inter market Futures spread as a single futures!" trader needs to know both underlying! I wonder then why CMe does not have a ES/YM or ES/ Russell 2000 spread futures these underlying's are well established

Feels like deja vu' around here.

I'm pretty sure they have it packaged as an ETS instrument.

@bone is the spread master around here, maybe he can shed some light on it.
