EurexUS, will it work?

Anyone out there trading the eurexus?
Pluses/minus' (liquidity/fees) VS. cbot?
How many contracts per day?
Wil it survive?

 

Last time I looked at the stats from their site the volume in the Interest rate contracts were anemic. Unless volume picks up soon they are toast.

 

EurexUS was brutal. Major liquidity problems after the first week or so. The fees were fine - in fact thats what made me look at it in the first place. I'll look at it again in a few months.
Let someone else pay the luxury tax.

 

Volume takes off since yesterday.

woosh!

whats the functionality of the platform like?

Just short of 5% of treasury futures volume yesterday.

Does anyone who's watching it through the day know if it's consistent volume, or a few big trades? Care to hazard a guess about whether it's stickable?
