Eurex is pretty smart launching identical contract specs. This way the two exchanges will arb each other, so even if their is a lack of initial liquidity for Eurex US, it won't matter as the bid/ask will pretty much be the same, with no gapping and price jumping usually asociated with new thinly traded contracts. I figure after about a week, everyone will be ready to switch. If you're a daytrader, it will be like getting given an extra $300 a day for free. Runningbear
How did you get $ 300 figure ? I think you will still have to go trough broker and pay commission. Walter
cme and cbot is filled with a bunch of scared phone clerks making 150k + who have no skills and the misery index is at all time highs. one can only wonder how the jim hacks of the exchange will survive with no ones coat tails to ride on
Does anyone have more info on the US equity index futures Eurex-US is planning to offer? Thanks, Chinook
