Which index futures do You trade?

[kiwi_trader]

Don't forget SPI (aus), HSI (hk), STW (taiwan) and the variants on Nikkei (japan). Also KOSPI (korea) for the worlds most impressive options market.

What is going on with the Russel ER2? Someone said it was going away?

Not exactly. The CME lost the contract to ICE with the Russell company to be the exchange for the Russell products (including the e-mini ER2). The CME will host the ER2 only through Sep 08. ICE starts trading their version of the Russell this month, so there'll be 12 months of overlap.

Additionally, to compete with ICE, the CME will start offering an e-mini on the S&P 600 small cap (with tick increments of .1 point worth $10, like the current ER2).

All of this flux is concerning to me as an ER2 trader. I recently opened a separate thread for ER2 traders to discuss what they plan on doing about these changes which are coming:

Thanks, mate. Would you consider being interviewed in this forum? The other two NQ traders here are too smart to take me up on it (you know who you are, you craven cowards!).

Hey you fellow Russell traders.......what are you going to do about the transition to ICE from CME? Or are you going to look to trade the new S&P small cap coming from the CME instead?
