eMINY Crude has been electronic for quite some time, it just RE-MIGRATED back to GLOBEX from clearpoe' http://www.nymexoncmeglobex.com/
I traded quite a few of the oil contracts today. Still a lot thinner than ICE or the pit-traded contract, but I'm sure it will grow.
"eMINY Crude has been electronic for quite some time, it just RE-MIGRATED back to GLOBEX from clearpoe'" I hardly call doing less that .005% of natty and .01% of crude trading. the markets prior to globex where extremely thin and not worth it compared to ICE. Im very pleased its on GLOBEX as ICE's technology and reliability is piss poor for a publicly traded exchange
