Er2

I love trading this - what is everyone going tyo trade once this goes on ICE? I am hearing the EMD.

 

do you know when this is supposed to happen?

 

I believe August

 

never mind, I found it . . . August/September

 

Why don't you guys just change to TF.
It acts almost one to one with ER2. Executions are as fast as on Globex and commissions are cheaper than those at CME. Volume should also go up after the change. What you pay for the datafeed you get back in a few roundturns.

 

What is TF? I'm not familiar with that symbol, and I can't find it on the instrument manager list in my NT program.

 

Wait a minute. What's going on? This is changing to a different exchange? Won't we be able to trade it through our regular brokers, or do you have to set up a special account through ICE? I know nothing about ICE or this change, so please enlighten me.

 

TF is the ICE symbol for Russel 2000 mini futures contract.

 

You can trade TF with most brokers. With IB just select RUT and subscribe to NYBOT datafeed. No need for any new accounts.

 

Thanks futaman. By the way, how much is the datafeed through IB? On their subscription site it said 1 GBP, but that can't be right for the U.S.
