CME Group started trading Single Stock futures on Monday, July 27: cash-settled contracts on 55 US stocks, plus Micro-sized contracts on 22 of those names, according to CNBC. A standard contract represents 100 shares and a micro represents 10. They trade on Globex from Sunday evening through Friday afternoon. Traders on an evaluation or a funded account should check their firm’s product list before looking for the symbols.

What CME listed

CME announced the launch on June 30, then pending regulatory review, and described the offering as 55 larger-sized and 22 Micro-sized futures contracts (CME Group). Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Nvidia and SpaceX are among the companies named in that announcement. NinjaTrader calls the initial launch a phased rollout across more than 50 US companies drawn from the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and Russell 1000 (NinjaTrader), so a given name may not be listed on day one.

CME put its own equity futures numbers alongside the launch: average daily volume of 7.2 million contracts in 2026, up 12% from a year earlier, and record average futures open interest of 5.4 million.

Size, settlement and hours

The contracts are cash-settled, which means the position pays out in cash at expiration and no shares change hands. Final settlement is based on the stock’s official closing price at expiration. One standard contract covers 100 shares; one micro covers 10. Trading runs on Globex from Sunday evening to Friday afternoon with a one-hour maintenance break each day, so the product is close to a 23-hour session (CNBC, July 27).

Where they are available

NinjaTrader said on launch day that CME Single Stock futures were live and immediately available to eligible users on its platform, and describes its community as almost 3.9 million users. Those are the firm’s own statements. No source here covers any other platform, and none names a futures prop firm that has added the contracts.

What prop traders should check

An evaluation is a paid service with simulated trading, and the instruments an account can trade come from the firm and the platform it runs on, not from the exchange’s listing. Before placing an order, ask the firm:

  • whether the new symbols appear on its tradable product list at all, and for which of the 55 names;
  • whether the account’s market data subscription covers them;
  • which contract size, standard or micro, the account is allowed to trade;
  • how the firm’s flat time and overnight or weekend holding rules apply to a product that trades almost around the clock.

Until a firm publishes its own answer, treat availability as unconfirmed.
