Eurex has promotional fees all the time and they
plan to open a new exchange in the US in 2004.

Eurex vows to launch US exchange

Eurex, the German-Swiss derivatives exchange, on Thursday night said it would launch a derivatives exchange in the US in an immediate response to rejection by the Chicago Board of Trade of Eurex as the sole provider of a new electronic trading platform.

The development marks the opening of hostilities between Europe's largest derivatives exchange and its rivals in the US and the start of Eurex's ambitious moves to gain a foothold in the world's largest derivatives market.

It is also a victory for Euronext-Liffe, the London-based derivatives exchange, over its continental European rival. It has been battling for months to persuade the Chicago Board of Trade to switch to using its Liffe-Connect electronic trading system from an existing arrangement under which it leases a Eurex system known as a/c/e/.

The CBOT decided at a board meeting to choose Liffe-Connect and not to continue leasing a/c/e after January 2002, when the current arrangement expires.

The decision to reject Eurex will come as a surprise because most observers had thought that the Chicago exchange would stick with the a/c/e system. Rejection of the Eurex system turns Eurex into a significant threat because it will now be allowed to compete head-on for the first time with the CBOT's core US dollar interest rate futures products.

"We're going to launch our US exchange and expand our existing product base to include product on US underlying [indexes and equities]," Rudi Ferscha, Eurex chief executive, told the Financial Times.

"We've been in advanced talks with US regulators for this launch. We will continue to use the a/c/e infrastructure with the new exchange and leverage it," he said.

you might want to make sure you are subscribed to get CBOE data from Real Tick, I know it is an extra fee, and you might not have asked for it when you set up.

Yes you must be provision for CBOT data. Will have to call your broker or Townsend to get it setup. You can also get Level 2 depth of market for the Dow minis as well on Relatick.

Works for me.

Thanks, FX-trader, for the news update. A little competition will do wonders for the bloated fee structure at the Chicago exchanges.
