FYI: ER2 is moving?

Recommended Posts

I heard this on JC's video mentioning ICE bought emini index from CME. Instead of buying the entire exchange and all its products, it buys only one products. He thinks the market volume will dry up a bit for a while before normal volume will return. Good thing I'm expanding to other areas (Ags and Forex).

Here's the official press release from ICE:

 

https://www.theice.com/showpr.jhtml?id=6574

 

And here's a blurb from the Chicago Tribune about it:

 

Merc loses futures to ICE | Chicago Tribune

 

Look for the CME to make a push on their S&P MidCap 400 product (which has the same tick and point value as the ER2 Russell). The ticker symbol is EMD.

 

Remember, not only the ER2 mini is currently traded at the Merc, but the pit-traded RL big contract as well. Could be interesting to see how this one will play out.

Since we don't know how ICE handle orders and routing, slippage and spread and of course volume will be an issue in the beginning. It'll take a while for people to trade big size again until they can find how reliable the exchange is with the new index. I've never traded with ICE so I am a newbie but caution is the only thing to do when ICE takes over.

 

If not EMD is not a bad choice for ER2 traders, if volume increase to ER2 level, it may be a good replacement. I'm going to start watching it. I've actually system tested EMD and ER2, they are both very similar in results, the only different is the slippage due to lower volume.

ICE handle the most widely traded energy contract (Brent Crude) and have pioneered the all-electronic platform so I'm sure they can handle ER2 smoothly. It only costs £1 to subscribe to ICE data on IB - I don't know about other brokers and data providers.

hmm torero, I have traded EMD a bit too and found that while yes it does jump around, it is less likely to jump around than ER2 --- I have found it to have LESS noise than ER2.

TS might have a problem since they don't have offer ICE (not sure of late of their european data). There are lots of TS-based ER2 traders. We'll see.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
