With Mini-Sized Stock Index Futures Contracts, traders can take a bullish or bearish position on a group of stocks, while avoiding the greater risk of holding a single stock. Additionally, these contracts require only a fraction of the margin of standard index futures contracts and provide high intraday volatility.
E-Mini Stock Index Futures provide exposure to leading stocks in four major market indices: the S&P 500 (symbol: ES), Nasdaq 100 (NQ), S&P Midcap 400 (EMD), and Russell 2000 (ERU). For Dow Mini-Sized Futures based on the Dow Jones Industrial Average use the $5 multiplier YM contract.
Contract months for the mini futures are March (month code: H), June (M), September (U), and December (Z).
These mini-sized index futures contracts are highly liquid and trade around the clock on the GCC Globex2. After-hours quotes are reflected on this page, though trading may not be very heavy after hours.
