This is where micro e-mini futures comes to their rescue. Launched by CME in 2019, micro e-mini futures aim to cut the capital threshold and allow smaller retail traders to enter the micro e-mini futures markets. For example, many daytrading strategies in the ES (S&P 500) contract require a stop loss of a few thousand dollars. CHICAGO, Oct. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- CME Group, the world's leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace, today announced it will launch E-mini S&P 500 ESG Index futures, a new risk management tool that aligns with environmental, social and governance (ESG) values. CME Group, one of the world's largest derivatives marketplace, has announced the expansion of its suite of E-mini S&P Select Sector futures with the addition of a new Communication Services Select Sector futures contract available for trading starting September 10, 2018, subject to regulatory approval.
