# Nasdaq Futures - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `nasdaqfutures.org` ## Description Nasdaq Futures is the brand behind several cutting-edge futures instruments that are derived from the NASDAQ composite index. As the largest electronically traded stock exchange in the world, Nasdaq offers a diverse range of products and services to investors. The NASDAQ composite index is a comprehensive benchmark that reflects all securities traded on the NASDAQ exchange, with a calculation history dating back to 1971. Nasdaq Futures provides investors with the opportunity to trade futures contracts, which oblige parties to buy or sell derivatives at predetermined prices and times. Futures contracts offer investors significant leverage, making them a valuable tool for maximizing potential profits. Unlike traditional stock purchases that require the full cost upfront, futures contracts only require a fraction of the contract's value to be deposited, typically between five to fifteen percent. This means that the value of futures contracts can experience larger percentage fluctuations compared to stocks, amplifying both profit potential and risk. All of the NASDAQ derived future contracts are offered through the reputable Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). These contracts expire quarterly and are available for trading on the CME Globex exchange almost around the clock. For those interested in Nasdaq Futures, the E-mini NASDAQ Futures (ticker: QCN) offers a minimum tick of .50 index points, equivalent to $10.00. With an initial margin requirement of $4,000 and a continuing equity of $3,200, investors can enter and maintain their positions. Another option is the E-mini NASDAQ Biotechnology Futures (ticker: BIO), which features a tighter minimum tick of .10 index points, or $5.00. To enter and maintain positions, CME requires an initial margin of $3,750 and continuing equity of $3,000. By providing accessible and innovative futures instruments, Nasdaq Futures empowers investors to take advantage of the exciting opportunities available on the NASDAQ composite index. With their commitment to excellence and robust trading capabilities, Nasdaq Futures is a brand that investors can trust. ## Industries - 💰 Finance - 💰 Investing _(under Finance)_ ## Links - [twitter](https://twitter.com/Nasdaq_Futures) ## Logos & icons - icon _(primary)_ — JPEG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idih7kH2uk/w/240/h/240/theme/dark/icon.jpeg?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1776295238364) - logo _(primary)_ — PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idih7kH2uk/w/350/h/60/theme/light/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1776295238291) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Mariner | #1e73be | accent | | Japanese Laurel | #05a007 | dark | | Tacha | #d8b96a | light | ## Imagery - banner _(primary)_ — JPEG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idih7kH2uk/w/1500/h/500/id6BCTVxNX.jpeg?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1776295238531) --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
