E-Mini Futures

As with any form of trading, e-mini trading systems can go a long way in making the most of your investment dollar. E-mini futures are simply a smaller version of the standard futures contract. Typically, eminis are a more popular focus for smaller investors, especially since they're electronically accessible. The "E" comes from the fact that these futures can only be traded electronically.

Emini Futures - Nasdaq
The CME has been trading an e-mini version of its Nasdaq 100 stock index futures contracts since February of 1999. Emini Nasdaq 100 futures, a smaller, cheaper, and electronically traded version of the contract, are one-fifth the regular Nasdaq 100 futures contract. Just like the Dow and SP futures contracts, the Nasdaq futures contracts are tied to the Nasdaq stock index. The overwhelming success of the CME's SP futures e-minis directly contributed to the decision to offer the Nasdaq emini futures. While E-mini trading has become increasingly popular and e-minis are highly accessible, let the professional and experience futures trading brokers at Alaron provide you with quality and informative advice before jumping into any trading system.
