AvaFutures, the futures division of AvaTrade, has introduced Micro Grain Futures, offering traders access to newly launched micro contracts for corn, wheat, soybeans, soybean oil, and soybean meal on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME).

AvaTrade is among the first brokers to offer these contracts at launch, further broadening its futures lineup for traders looking for greater flexibility and precision.

Key Takeaways

  • Trade micro-sized contracts at just 1/10th the size of standard grain futures for corn, wheat, soybeans, soybean oil, and soybean meal.
  • Contracts are financially settled, eliminating the complexities of physical delivery, with dedicated support provided by the AvaFutures team.
  • Micro grain futures are ideal for short-term traders due to their smaller contract size, lower margin requirements, and cost-effective trading conditions.

Micro grain futures offer opportunities to active traders looking to fine-tune their exposure to agricultural markets without committing large amounts of capital.

Their smaller size supports greater risk management, and financial settlement means no worries about logistics.
