Home > Electronic Trading:  Welcome to the age of the internet!

This section is set up to talk about how the internet is slowly doing away with the old "Open Out-Cry" system.  As the exchanges shed their canes and walkers, the ever popular "mini" contracts are appearing in every market.  The mini's are nothing more than a smaller, electronic version of the traditional futures contract.  Their trading hours are normally closer to 20+ hours a day, and one of their biggest benefits is the fact that with market volatility, these smaller contracts provide more flexibility than traditional trading.  For more information on specific mini's in specific markets - please look at the below resource pages:
