NIBA Members:

You may have received a direct communication from the CME Group or read recent National Introducing Brokers Association (NIBA) LinkedIn posts regarding the exchange's intent to raise market data fees. As the new policy is currently written, it will affect each of us and our customers.

The NIBA has requested a face-to-face meeting with the CME Group in order to better understand their action and more importantly -- to express our members' concerns.

We need your input. Please review the CME Group announcement and related links below:

Then send your comments, questions and suggestions to melinda@futuresrep.com or post in the following NIBA LinkedIn forum.

Include information on the effect the new fees will have on your business -- estimated costs, possible effects on trading volume, if you will, or can, consider alternative markets for your customers' needs, and more.

We need your comments by 9AM Monday, Dec 2, 2013. They will be the basis for a meeting between NIBA Board Members and the CME Group. The increased fee charges are due to become effective March 1, 2014. We will publish the results of the upcoming meeting.

Thank you,
Melinda Schramm
Chairperson, NIBA

Futures That Don’t Look Like Futures

The Small Exchange launched new futures products that pair the efficiency of futures with the simplicity of stocks, on June 1, 2020. Built on the pillars small, standard, and simple, the Smalls cover everything from stocks and bonds to commodities and foreign exchange in a way that is accessible to the everyday trader. After surveying the current landscape for active investing, CEO Donnie Roberts decided that traditional futures had not evolved to meet the needs of the self-directed trader. Small Exchange futures were designed with ease of use in mind, and they cut out the large notional sizes and inconsistent specifications from traditional futures while providing cost-efficient capital requirements. All products from the Small Exchange have the same minimum tick...
