Guide to trading EUREX Micro Contracts.

Micro EURO STOXX 50 (FSXE)

Micro DAX (FDXS)

Micro SMI (FSMS)

As explained in this Investopedia article Eurex Exchange (funded in 1998 and owned by Deutsche Börse AG, so Germany) is actually the largest futures and options market in the world: settling 1.6 million contracts annually, and providing access to traders connected from 700 locations worldwide.

The Futures Industry Association‘s survey from 2015 places Eurex to the third place for derivatives exchanges by contract volume…anyhow..

What are Index Futures?

Ok I got you, let’s take a step back: futures contracts are used by traders to buy or sell a product today, and be settled in the future.

Index futures therefore can be used to speculate on index such as S&P500, DAX, etc.. for much more info read this Investopedia Index Futures article.

What are DAX, EURO STOXX 50 and SMI indexes?

DAX, code FDAX

It represents 30 of the largest liquid German companies traded on the Frankfurt Exchange, that go from insurance to pharmaceutical and athletic apparel: such as Volkswagen, Bayer, BMW, Adidas.

As recently announced in this article by EUREX the Micro Futures on DAX®, EURO STOXX 50® and SMI® Indices will be live on 19th of April 2021.

These contracts mirror the exact same price as the benchmark contract but differ in terms of contract size only: they are basically much more affordable to trade.

Micro futures EURO STOXX 50® , code FXSE

The other specs for these contracts are in line with the existing contracts: same trading hours, same trading calendar, same expiration date, settlement etc.

What’s really important now is to find out how expensive it will be to trade these:
– commissions fees?
– Slippage and spread?

Futures, stocks and options trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The valuation of futures, stocks and options may fluctuate, and, as a result, clients may lose more than their original investment. The impact of seasonal and geopolitical events is already factored into market prices. The highly leveraged nature of futures trading means that small market movements will have a great impact on your trading account and this can work against you, leading to large losses or can work for you, leading to large gains. If the market moves against you, you may sustain a total loss greater than the amount you deposited into your account. You are responsible for all the risks and financial resources you use and for the chosen trading system. You should not engage in trading unless you fully understand the nature of the transactions you are entering into and the extent of your exposure to loss. If you do not fully understand these risks you must seek independent advice from your financial advisor.

Funded-trader.com is not a registered financial advisor and holds no formal qualifications to give financial advice. Everything that is provided is purely for educational purposes only. All information here should be independently verified, researched and confirmed.

Trading foreign currencies can be a challenging and potentially profitable opportunity for investors. However, before deciding to participate in the Forex market, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. Most importantly, do not invest money you cannot afford to lose.
