Traders' Roundtable

Are there any major futures contracts traded on North American exchanges that do NOT have minis? I will be trading a basket of liquid contracts and would much rather trade minis but am not sure where I can get a complete list of which do and which do not offer minis as an option.

Thanks in advance.

all softs except Coffee dont have minis(Cotton, Lumber, Orange Juice and sugar. These commodities also do not trade electronically, that might be a reason it doesnt have minis yet. starting with minis is a good start. good luck!

'The current trading volume in the NYBOT softs is approximately 30% electronic / 70% floor. Since its inception a couple of weeks ago the electronic volume continues to build where the front months in Sugar #11, Cocoa, Coffee and Cotton have become very efficient to the point where they follow the floor trading very closely. Though it may be prudent to check bids and offers before placing MKT orders, LMT orders in the front month of Sugar #11, Cocoa, Coffee and Cotton should coincide with the activity and liquidity of the trading floor.'
