When Will They Release Options on Micro Futures?

There are options for ES,NQ.
So why you need options for MES,MNQ? What are difference between them? Does ES,NQ price move any differently than MES,MNQ?
 
wmwmw-It’s a matter of scale. ES are too big for some and SPY margin in Reg-t accounts is very high. Options on the Micros would draw in traders away from SPY. Futures have no PDT rule.
 
Yes, I know. Options on ES are still on a symbol that is $50/point with a margin over $7000, while the Micros are 10% of that, same with the options if they are created. It would work better for smaller accounts than ES and SPY.
 
Well with cash markets & index options having 0 fees on options, I guess CME doesn't think they can compete?

Would love micro options due to their 24/7 nature tho, don't mind paying the duopoly their fee. Tho of course I would prefer a free market where other exchanges can open and compete including offering 0 fees on futures/options
