This directory is intended to help futures traders and trading firms identify and
understand the universe of providers offering CME Group-certified front-end
trading applications and access to the CME Globex platform.
As the world’s largest and most diverse derivatives marketplace, CME Group (www.cmegroup.com)
is where the world comes to manage risk. CME Group exchanges offer the widest range of global
benchmark products across all major asset classes, including futures and options based on interest
rates, equity indexes, foreign exchange, energy, agricultural commodities, metals, weather and real
estate. CME Group brings buyers and sellers together through its CME Globex electronic trading
platform and its trading facilities in New York and Chicago. CME Group also operates CME Clearing, one
of the largest central counterparty clearing services in the world, which provides clearing and settlement
services for exchange-traded contracts, as well as for over-the-counter derivatives transactions through
CME ClearPort. These products and services ensure that businesses everywhere can substantially
mitigate counterparty credit risk in both listed and over-the-counter derivatives markets.

Futures trading is not suitable for all investors, and involves the risk of loss. Futures are a leveraged investment, and because only a percentage of a contract’s value is required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money deposited for a futures position. There-
fore, traders should only use funds that they can afford to lose without affecting their lifestyles. And only a portion of those funds should be devoted to any one trade because they cannot expect to profit on every trade. All references to options refer to options on futures.
