E-mini Nasdaq-100 Futures Futures

Technology rules; or does it?. Some traders think so. Today’s market headlines are dominated by names such as: Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Cisco, Intel and Facebook. These stocks can move dramatically and might require some protection through the E-mini NASDAQ-100, which is a future on an index that consists of the largest 100 non-financial stocks listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market including those tech behemoths.
When people think about the tech sector, they turn to the NASDAQ-100, which by design has no financial stocks. Fund managers looking for protection in this oft volatile sector can find it with the E-mini NASDAQ futures contract. Those looking for long or short opportunities can also use the contract in much more cash-efficient ways than equivalent ETF or baskets of stocks. And for those traders who are bearish on this sector, going short is simple and easy – no stock loans or extra fees. You just sell the future.
Whether you are looking to protect your stock exposure or find new growth opportunities, this broad-based index futures contract allows traders to access the market virtually 24-hours per day and trade with participants from around the globe.
