You can't be serious.
OTOH, Esignal seems clueless about the switch. So nothing surprises me.
"The CME has said that it will list the Russell contracts through the September 2008 expiration date of its agreement"
I guess we have some time....
I'm making fun of their reluctance (or sloth) in making NYBOT contracts on ICE available. It took forever to get softs.
And where the f*** is the dollar index??????????
The only thing that will speed them up is volume moving to ICE. If they get hit in the pocketbook (or purse) they will get off their butts.....
Here you go:
"I have an update for you. Effective tomorrow the ER2 contract will no longer be traded and the new symbol for the Russell 2000 will be RUT and the Russell 1000 will be RYO. For the RUT contract the root symbol TO indicates a multiplier of 500 and the root symbol TF indicates a multiplier of 100. I hope this clears things up."
That's the link to the pit-traded contract, symbol RUT, 500x the index.
You want the link to the e-mini contract:
