ER2 Last day?

When is ER2 last day on Globex?

 

This is freely available on the cme website.

Russell Index contracts will be listed at CME Group only through the SEP 2008 expiration.

 

Any volume picked up on ICE ?
Anybody started trading there already?

 

pardon me of my laziness..

 

I subscribed to ICE quotes via IB, but I still can;t pull up a quote for TF. Obviosuly, I haven't gotten around to looking into this, since I still just trade the ER2. Anyone actively trading the TF?

 

RUT is the symbol in IB for TF.
I Dont have the ICE subscription , cant see the quotes.

 

Though I didn't want to see the er leave globex, it's probably a good thing.

Creates some competition
Ability to hedge between ICE and Globex if one fails
Will pump more volume through EMD

Are there any opinions re the ICE backbone/infrastructure?

 

I see that now, thanks for the heads-up.

 

Not a good thing. One of the best day trading markets is going bye bye. Volume on ICE will not be as good as on Globex, and any attempt to substitute with Spoo 400 or something will probably fail as well.

This sucks.

 

Agreed - I am not too thrilled about the whole thing..
