Algo Futures Trader was specifically built from the ground up for trading the Emini Futures and with the advent of Micro Futures AFT has now become more available to smaller risk trading and provide additional flexibility for managing and scaling in and out of orders.
E-minis were launched in the late 1990s when the values of the major indices got too large for the average trader. Index futures contracts allow investors to buy or sell a financial index today to be settled at a date in the future. The CME Group launched micro e-mini contracts for four major indices on May 6, 2019. S&P 500, Russell 2000, Dow Jones 30 and Nasdaq 100 indices. Providing trading to retail traders at a much lower cost than the existing e-mini futures.
An expanded offering, a smaller-sized contract
At 1/10th the size of a classic E-mini contract, Micro E-mini futures give all traders a simple, cost-efficient way to access the liquid equity index futures markets.
Trade a slice of the most liquid equity index futures
E-mini S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000 and Dow ($5) futures are among the most liquid, actively traded equity index contracts available. Micro E-mini futures provide the same benefits of E-mini futures, in a smaller-sized contract.
Precisely scale index exposure up or down
Add more granularity to your trading and risk-management strategies by using Micro E-mini futures to fine-tune your index exposure.
Versatility to manage positions
At a 10:1 contract ratio, Micro E-mini Equity futures can be converted easily into a classic E-mini futures position, and vice versa. That gives you more flexibility for managing positions as market conditions change, using the contract that best suits your goals, and greater access to liquidity.
