Dow Jones Index Futures FAQs
1. What are Dow Jones Futures?
Dow Jones futures are exchange-listed contracts that track the Dow Jones Industrial Average, an index of 30 large US companies. The main contract is the E-mini Dow, ticker YM, traded on the CBOT. It settles in cash against the index level and trades nearly 24 hours across CME Globex
2. What's the difference between YM and MYM Futures?
YM is the E-mini Dow futures contract, and MYM is the Micro E-mini Dow, sized at one-tenth the notional value of YM. Both track the same Dow Jones Industrial Average, settle in cash and trade the same hours. MYM gives the same market exposure per contract at a lower margin requirement
3. What companies are in the Dow Jones Industrial Average?
The Dow Jones Industrial Average tracks 30 large, established US companies across industries such as technology, finance, healthcare and consumer goods. Dow futures, ticker YM, move based on the combined price movement of these 30 stocks. The index is price-weighted, so higher-priced stocks have more influence regardless of company size
4. What are the margin requirements to trade Dow Jones Futures?
Margin on YM and MYM is set by the exchange and changes with market volatility, so it is not fixed. Brokers can require additional margin above the exchange minimum. KGI Crusoe has no account minimum; capital required depends on the contract and quantity traded. Current figures are listed in the contract specifications
5. What are the risks of trading Dow Jones Futures?
Dow Jones futures are leveraged, so a small move in the index can produce a large move against your margin. Losses can exceed the amount deposited, and an adverse move can trigger a margin call or forced liquidation. Because the index is price-weighted, a large move in a single high-priced component can have an outsized effect
