CME Group is the largest forex marketplace in the world offering a product suite of 49 futures and 32 options based on 20 currencies. In March 2009, we launched E-micro Forex futures which are roughly 1/10^th the size of our standard contract. If you're an individual trader and currently trade forex in the spot/cash market, it's important for you to know that CME Group offers many advantages over those markets.

• Deep liquidity
• Equal access to prices and fully disclosed costs
