Trade the CME E-mini’s for…

as low as $1.25 per contract per side*

CME's equity futures and options on futures contracts closely follow the price movement of their respective underlying indexes, providing risk management and investing opportunities for financial professionals and individual investors.

E-mini futures trade on the CME’s Globex® electronic trading system. These futures trades are matched on a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) price algorithm. That means no one has an advantage over you in the execution of your order. All orders for these futures products trade in this one centralized market.

Liquidity

E-mini futures’ market depths and volumes are among the highest of any traded instruments. All this trading takes place at the single location of the CME Globex matching engine. You do not need to search for the greatest source of liquidity to execute your trade.

Leverage (Performance Bonds)

Due to the fact that these are highly leveraged instruments, a thorough understanding of margin is a crucial concept when trading e-mini futures. During each trading day, an e-mini futures trading account is marked-to-the–market for any losses or gains. These losses or gains are then immediately debited or credited from/to the account.

As described on the CMEs website:

’ Performance bonds in the futures industry, formerly called the "margin," are considered "good faith" deposits that guarantee a trader's position holdings amid market swings.

In addition to the initial performance bond deposit, traders are committed to making good on any change in the value of any futures contract they hold. Traders can use this to leverage a position larger than their initial deposit amount.’
 

No Account Sizes Restrictions for Day-trading

There are no regulatory limits on account sizes for day-trading in futures markets such as the $25,000 minimum necessary for day-trading stocks.

No Restrictions on Short Sales

All purchases and sales are executed in the same manner. No distinction exists between a short and a long sale.
 

Daily Marked-to-Market Settlement

E-mini futures trading accounts are marked-to-the–market for any losses or gains. These losses or gains are then immediately debited or credited from/to the account.

Speedtrader.com allows clients to trade Stocks, Options, E-mini Index Futures, Interest Rate Futures, and Currency Futures through ONE platform in ONE account.

An investment in futures contracts is speculative, involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for persons who can assume the risk of loss in excess of their margin deposits. The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in futures trading can work against you as well as for you and, as a result, can lead to large losses as well as gains. If you purchase or sell a futures contract, you may sustain a total loss of your initial margin funds and any additional funds that you may deposit to establish or maintain your position. If the market moves against your position, you may be called upon to deposit a substantial amount of additional margin funds, on short notice, in order to maintain your position. If you do not provide the requested funds within the prescribed time, your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your account. Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. You should carefully consider whether futures trading is appropriate for you in light of your investment experience and objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances.
