CME Micro E-mini Options
New CME Group Micro E-mini Options Contracts
Available at IBKR for the Lowest1 Commissions
Introducing Micro E-mini options on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 indices. Add the flexibility and limited downside risk of options in a smaller notional size that requires less margin and premium to trade.
These options settle into Micro E-mini futures, which are 1/10th the size of E-mini futures and offer the access to the same underlying market. The smaller size enables you to fine-tune your index exposure for greater control over the risk/reward ratio of your investment.
Key Features:
- Trade with more precision
Scale S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 index exposure up or down with greater granularity from underlying contracts 1/10th the size of E-mini products. More precision can provide additional control over the risk/reward ratio of your trading strategies.
- Add versatility to strategy building
Express long- or short-term views with a choice of quarterly, Friday weekly, and end-of-month expirations. Build market neutral, directional, and/or multi-leg strategies to seek new opportunities in the equity markets.
- Access Micro E-mini futures liquidity
With a lower premium related to the contract size, these options settle into liquid Micro E-mini futures, which traded nearly 300 million contracts as of 2020.
