The Future of Emini Futures

Quote from raker:

First off as a previous poster stated it is hard to make a comparison between this period and last January , we have just experienced unheard of levels of volatility over the past several months.
You have to remember what the e-mini or regular sized index futures contracts are primarily used for ; short and long term hedging by institutions for their portfolios , it is also used on a intraday timescale by broker/dealers and institutional execution desks to hedge institutional stock buy/sell orders/lists as they are executed thoughout the day.

The volumes may drop off a little from time to time but the futures contracts are very much needed by the institutions to help minimise the market impact costs of trading in baskets of different underlying shares .

So I wouldnt worry about it too much...

Quote from ranger64:

i just had a look at the average daily volume of cme index futures january 2009 compared to january 2008.
volume is sharply down in es, nq and ym. the nq was hit worst, average volume dropped to 285000 in january, volume was 552000 one year ago. if volume decline continues at this pace, daytrading eminis could be a tough task in the near future...

Yes, if you compare year over year, the liquidity has significantly dried up.. But this is more of a concern to the CME rather than the end user which is all of us. I mean the simple fact is that drowning in Lake Erie or the Atlantic ocean is the same thing. Its still one of the most liquid instruments in the world.

this is a ridiculous post. I'm all for not listening to people when they say what can't be done, but you've gone way overboard my friend.
