Side-by-Side FX Futures

Currently there are several CME FX products such as British pound, Canadian dollar, Euro FX and Japanese yen futures, that trade “side-by-side.” That is, they trade simultaneously via open outcry on CME Group’s trading floor and on the CME Globex electronic trading platform. One key advantage of side-by-side trading is the ability to liquidate an existing position after floor trading is closed.

CME Group FX products that trade side-by-side are the same contract in the pit as on CME Globex. Traders can offset an order entered on CME Globex by placing an order to the trading floor and vice versa. However, although the contracts are the same, they have different ticker symbols. This section provides detailed information on side-by-side CME Group FX futures, including an FAQ and a list of ticker and quote vendor symbols. View CME Group FX futures volumes.
