Exposure to U.S. Tech Sector
Get exposure to leading tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and Nvidia through a single contract, without buying multiple individual stocks
Wider Daily Trading Ranges
Nasdaq-100 futures historically trade with larger daily point swings than the S&P 500, Dow, or Russell 2000. This higher volatility gives intraday traders more price movement per session
Micro Contract Flexibility
Trade MNQ at one-tenth the size of NQ to scale positions in smaller increments and manage risk more precisely
Trade After-Hours Earnings
Key tech companies announce earnings after the U.S. cash market closes. Because NQ and MNQ trade 24/5, you can act on earnings releases in real time before cash markets reopen

Nasdaq-100 Index Futures FAQs
1. What are Nasdaq Futures?
Nasdaq futures are exchange-listed contracts that track the Nasdaq-100 index, a basket of the 100 largest non-financial companies on the Nasdaq. The main contract is the E-mini Nasdaq-100, ticker NQ, traded on the CME. It settles in cash against the index level and trades nearly 24 hours across CME Globex
2. What is the difference between NQ and MNQ Futures?
NQ is the E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures contract, and MNQ is the Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100, sized at one-tenth the notional value of NQ. Both track the same Nasdaq-100 index, settle in cash and trade the same hours. MNQ gives the same market exposure per contract at a lower margin requirement
3. What's the difference between Nasdaq Futures and QQQ?
QQQ is an exchange-traded fund that holds the stocks in the Nasdaq-100 and trades like a share during market hours. Nasdaq-100 futures, ticker NQ, are exchange-listed derivative contracts on the same index, trading nearly 24 hours with no share ownership involved. They track the same index through different instruments
4. What are the margin requirements to trade Nasdaq Futures?
Margin on NQ and MNQ 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 Nasdaq Futures?
Nasdaq 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. The Nasdaq-100 is tech-heavy, so it can be more volatile than broader indices like the S&P 500
