Russell 2000 Index Futures FAQs
1. What are Russell 2000 Futures?
Russell 2000 futures are exchange-listed contracts that track the Russell 2000 index, a basket of 2,000 US small-cap companies. The main contract is ticker RTY, 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 RTY and M2K Futures?
Both contracts track the same underlying Russell 2000 Index, but differ in contract size and margin requirements: standard E-mini Russell 2000 Futures (RTY) use a $50 index point multiplier for traders managing larger capital allocations, while Micro E-mini Russell 2000 Futures (M2K) are sized at 1/10th of the standard contract ($5 per index point) to provide flexible position management for smaller account sizes
3. How is the Russell 2000 different from the S&P 500?
The Russell 2000 tracks 2,000 small-cap US companies, while the S&P 500 tracks 500 large-cap companies. Small-cap stocks tend to be more sensitive to domestic economic conditions and interest rate changes than large-cap stocks. Futures on each index, RTY and ES respectively, can diverge sharply during shifts in economic outlook
4. What are the margin requirements to trade Russell 2000 Futures?
Margin on RTY 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 Russell 2000 Futures?
Russell 2000 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. Small-cap stocks are typically more volatile than large-cap stocks, which can amplify these swings
