Futures Trading with FXFlat at EUREX and CME
FXFlat provides you with direct access to the European futures exchange EUREX as well as the Chicago-based futures exchange CME for futures trading.
For this purpose, we offer you Level 2 Tick-by-Tick data from the aforementioned futures exchanges, which can be subscribed to on a monthly basis.
FXFlat clients can choose between EUREX real-time quotes and CME real-time quotes via CQG. The fees for EUREX real-time quotes at FXFlat are 20 € per month, and for CME, they are 36 € per month. At FXFlat, you pay an all-inclusive price for futures trading. Therefore, the exchange fee is not billed separately but is included in a fixed price per contract.
In futures trading, there are intraday and overnight margin requirements. The margin requirement at FXFlat is only a small percentage of the EUREX margin requirement intraday (about 10%). Thus, the intraday margin requirement for a Micro-DAX Future is only 68.00 € per contract.
At FXFlat, active clients receive free real-time quotes from Eurex if they generate at least 300.00 € in commissions per month with EUREX futures.
For CME real-time quotes, the minimum commission is 300.00 € per month with CME futures. If the minimum commission is not met, the external fee will be fully charged to the trading account.
