FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly are Spot-Quoted Futures (SQF)?

SQF contracts are futures that trade at the exact spot price of the underlying asset (whether it's the S&P 500 or Bitcoin), eliminating the price discrepancies found in traditional futures.

What's the minimum amount needed to start trading SQF?

SQF contracts are designed to be accessible with as little as $100 per contract, significantly lower than traditional futures contracts.

How do SQF contracts compare to traditional E-mini and Micro futures?

Unlike E-mini and Micro futures which trade at adjusted prices that differ from the actual index level, SQF contracts trade at the exact spot price you see on financial media. They also have longer dated expirations (through 2030) and typically smaller contract sizes for better position sizing.

Will SQF work with my current trading platform?

Yes, SQF contracts will be available on all major futures trading platforms supported by Optimus Futures, including Optimus Flow, TradingView, and many others.

How liquid are these new contracts?

SQF contracts are backed by the CME Group with institutional market makers ensuring tight spreads and deep liquidity comparable to existing futures contracts.
