Micro E-mini S&P 500
MES · CME GlobexThe Micro E-mini S&P 500 (MES) offers the same market exposure as ES but at one-tenth the contract size. Launched in 2019, it quickly became one of the highest-volume futures products globally. Ideal for retail traders building positions, fine-tuning risk, or practicing with real market conditions at a fraction of the capital requirement.
E-mini Russell 2000
RTY · CME GlobexThe E-mini Russell 2000 (RTY) provides exposure to US small-cap equities. Small-caps are more domestically focused and cyclically sensitive than large-caps, making RTY useful for trading domestic economic sentiment, interest rate expectations, and risk-on/risk-off rotations.
Micro E-mini NASDAQ 100
MNQ · CME GlobexMicro E-mini NASDAQ 100 (MNQ) is the micro-sized version of NQ, launched alongside other micro contracts in 2019. Perfect for traders who want NASDAQ 100 exposure without the full NQ contract's notional value (often exceeding $350,000).
E-mini NASDAQ 100
NQ · CME GlobexThe E-mini NASDAQ 100 (NQ) futures provide concentrated exposure to the 100 largest non-financial companies on NASDAQ. Given the heavy tech weighting of the NASDAQ 100, NQ futures are a favourite for traders seeking amplified moves driven by technology sector earnings and sentiment. Second only to ES in equity futures volume.
