Since apparently the E-mini index futures contracts we’ve all been slinging around for the past 20 years, you know the ones with as low as $500 intraday margins and 250:1 notional leverage, are just not accessible or addictive enough, today we get an announcement from the CME introducing Micro E-mini Futures contracts, coming to a DOM near you in May.

Meet Micro E-mini futures, the next big thing in equities trading, designed with the individual active trader in mind. Discover the benefits of futures for a fraction of the upfront financial commitment.
