CME announced the launching of Forex E-micro Futures before the end of Q1 2009.  What’s the catch of this?  Well, the basic message for retail traders is : Trading your mini lot on regulated futures market, e.g trading Euro futures with $1.25 per tick.

Instead of fighting with the retail forex brokers, known bucket shops, maybe trading the regulated futures market is a better choice. Your choice. I guess this is a good move to make retail currencies trading environment a little better.
