When will EurexUS start trading?

Quote from theTaoTrader:

The electronic market for options on the US bond market has been around since Aug.2000. But the volumn is next to nothing. Eurex is never big on options.

Since CBOT moved to LIFFE, the 10-year option is still small, only about 5000 contracts a day, compare to 250,000 in the pit. I'd keep the expectation low on EUREX-US, their futures could be big, but options?

Many Eurex option contracts are among the most liquid contracts in the world. Options on GBL do decent volume ... and options on DAX and ESTX50 also very good. I don't need great volume anyway - just having two sided quotes will be a huge improvement.

Bond pits in the US are dead ... it is just a matter of time.

Look before you leap. Eurex electronic options are very robust - especially equity index products. Capital market products get decent, tradeable volume.

I really meant A/C/E (Alliance/CBOT/Eurex) , not Eurex, where the Treasury option volume was next to nothing.
 
they will have different look than ECBOT as far as quotes

and perhaps tick size ?

Price Quotation
Points (USD 1,000) and one half of 1/32 of a point; for example 122-140 equals 122-14/32, 122-145 equals 122 14.5/32.


Minimum Price Change
One half of 1/32 of a point (USD 15.625/contract); par is on the basis of 100 points.

lets see what it looks like when it opens for trading

I like the Eurex US tick size.
TBX (30 yrs) and TNL (10 yrs) have the same
tick sizes, whereas ZB and ZN have different tick sizes.
Very nice, now please add some volume in the options !
