E-mini On The CME

Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s E-mini futures track the most popular broad-based stock index benchmarks in the financial world. Pioneered by Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and sequentially launched between 1997 and 2002, all E-mini futures are traded completely electronically via electronic order management software on a PC or through one of our registered commodity futures brokers over the telephone.  With convenient direct access to online commodity trading of popular benchmarks and a licensed E-mini commodities broker always on hand, participating in E-mini future trading promotes superior efficiency and is one of the main reasons for our success.

Remember, the risk of loss exists with all futures trading, which includes e-mini futures as well. Only risk capital should be invested.

In addition to offering opportunities for risk management and market exposure, E-mini stock index futures are appealing because of their liquidity and around-the-clock availability. At one-fifth the size of their standard counterparts, these E-mini future trading contracts have found an audience among professional and individual investors alike.

Investors should be aware that futures and options trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors.

The E-mini S&P 500 and E-mini NASDAQ 100 contracts are the fastest growing products CME has ever launched. The success of the E-mini complex overall has established CME as the Index Exchange, with more than a 95% market share of all domestically traded stock index futures and options on futures.

CME’s Equity quadrant as a whole is also known as one of the world’s most liquid trading environments for stock index products, when measured in terms of volume and open interest.

Our trading products are paralleled with great service from our online commodity brokers.  Easily contacted via email or phone, a licensed E-mini commodities broker is available to speak with you.

For the new investor, who may not be familiar with E-mini future trading, we provide simulated online commodity trading so you can practice trading without incurring any loss.  E-mini Direct’s online commodity brokers can assist new traders with any of our platforms and research information.  Our trading software, which is both browser based and downloadable, makes it easy to get started.

Please note, however, that online commodity trading is not suitable for all investors, and involves the risk of loss, including the possibility of loss greater than your original investment.  For answers to any questions you may have, contact one of our commodity futures brokers toll-free today.  If you’re ready to open an account with one of the most popular online trading platforms available, click here.
