    Maybe I missed it but I didn't see any specific mention of margin requirements for them.

    Not that I would be trading these - I trade the regular FX futures just fine. Guess this is the CME's way to capitalize on the retail forex craze?

    I agree. You would have to pay the spread and comissions.

    Overall I think these would be more interesting is they could get some options volume.

  3. The exchange fee's will also be 1/10th the size of the full contract

  4. Yeah, the info does say that the margin and exchange fees will be around 1/10 of the full future - but the broker's fees will be the same. So the total commissions will be around five times as expensive compared to a full future contract.

  7. A ES micro would be nice, as long as you make it fungible with the mine and the big contracts... (similar to what they have on the DD, DJ, YM contracts)

  9. Dale -

    What are you guys planning on charging for all-in commissions on this product (for Ninja Trader users)?

    You can PM me if you don't want to share publicly.

    Hello filter_sweep,

    That's a great question...I'm actually getting all of the information together now.

    This isn't concrete yet but using Ninja (all in) RT commissions should be around $2.10. The second I have the schedule I'll get back to you.

    Best regards,


    Dale
