    I know CME e mini NQ and ES are open 24/5

    The options for E mini NQ and ES are the trading hours the same as the parent symbol ??? ie 24/5?

    ( I mean globex and regular trading hours are they the same?)

    You are somewhat mistaken... its not 24/5... its more like 23/6 (I think)

    Not 100% sure but globex options and eminis stop trading around 4:15 EST. Eminis start again shortly and so do options, but there is hardly any bid/ask on options and even then, its either rediculously low/high.

    Also Sundays they are open and can be traded... on e-minis you will see a slight volume.

    Can anyone recommend a good broker who offers options on futures trading?
