YOUR EASY ACCESS TO EQUITY INDEX FUTURES MARKETS
Trading U.S. futures is difficult to impossible for private investors - too high margins and point values make trading too costly for their portfolios. And even mini-futures, each representing a portion of a future, are too costly financially for many exchange traders.
CapTrader's US Micro E-mini futures offer a solution that truly gives anyone easy access to the equity index futures markets: at one-tenth the size of a classic E-mini contract, buying a Micro E-mini requires correspondingly less money to be in the exciting futures market at lower margins.

MICRO E-MINI FUTURES: MARGIN LOW, LIQUIDITY HIGH
E-mini futures on the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000 and Dow Jones Industrial Average ($5) are among the most liquid actively traded equity index contracts.
Micro E-mini futures also exploit their advantages - with the difference that they are only one-tenth the contract size of an E-mini future. However, they can also be traded almost 24 hours a day. In line with the contract size, the margin requirement for micro futures is also only ten percent of that for e-mini futures.
TRADEABLE MICRO E-MINI FUTURES LEADING INDICES
Compared to classic e-mini contracts, micro e-mini futures make it easier to manage positions due to the lower capital outlay - a major advantage especially when market conditions change.
With US Micro E-Mini Futures from CapTrader you increase liquidity and flexibility in equal measure - and raise your risk and money management to a new level especially for your trading in the USA. And of course, as always with CapTrader, at enormously low conditions.
