My two cents here... if for any reasons your position is not closed at the end of the session EMD margin is 16 k per contract... something to have in consideartion... cheers Walter.

 

Wrong.

 

We're talking about the e-mini EMD contract, not the large one.

 

$3,750 is your overnight margin, which is comparable to the other e-mini official performance bond requirements.

 

Check your facts at the CME website here:

Thanks for that information, I really was not much convinced about that... 16K I asume is the large contract then... cheers Walter.

That's a darn shame. I used to trade the ER2 but I switched to YM. I had my sights set on going back someday.

Ok, thanks for the clarification, cooter. That was what I thought, maybe I wasn't clear in mentioning it was mini-EMD, and wasn't aware there was a large size EMD.

Dear Traders,

 

On Monday October 22, CME will be introducing futures on the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. A couple of brief items for your review.

 

* Attached are two pdf files. One contains a 1 page term sheet with the basics. The second contains the brochure for the product with additional information such as countries in the index and the top components and additional details/contract highlights.

* Volatility in MSCI's Emerging Market Index is substantially higher than most other major broad based indexes including the S&P 500 and MSCI EAFE. Hence trading opportunities should be numerous.

* CME exchange listed margin is expected to be $4,600. Infinity AT daytrade margin will be $500. Market will trade on Globex virtually 24 Hours a day.
