Frequently asked questions
What makes The Small Exchange different from standard futures exchanges like the CME?
The Small Exchange is a designated contract market (DCM) that exclusively lists 'Small' futures contracts — derivatives with notional values typically one-tenth the size of CME e-minis. The exchange is designed for retail investors and focuses on simplicity in contract specifications, margin requirements, and trading interface (per the firm's official communications).
Who regulates The Small Exchange?
The Small Exchange is regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as a designated contract market (DCM) (public record). It must comply with the same core regulatory standards as other U.S. futures exchanges including CME Group and ICE Futures.
What products are traded on The Small Exchange?
The exchange offers cash-settled futures on equity indices (S&P 500, Nasdaq-100), currencies (Euro FX), commodities (Gold, Silver, Crude Oil), and fixed income (10-Year Treasury Notes) (public record). Each contract is designed to be one-tenth the size of standard CME futures.
