PLANTATION, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TradeStation Securities, Inc. (“TradeStation Securities”), an award-winning^†, self-clearing online brokerage firm for trading stocks, options, futures, and futures options, today announced the expansion of its futures product lineup to include CME Group’s newly launched micro-sized grains and oilseed futures contracts.

“We are pleased that TradeStation Securities is expanding its futures offerings to include our new micro grains and oilseed contracts,” said John Ricci, Managing Director and Global Head of Agriculture at CME Group. “These products have already generated strong interest, with each contract trading actively on the first day of launch, and we look forward to seeing how these smaller-sized contracts help expand opportunities in global agricultural markets.”

TradeStation Securities clients can now access these contracts alongside a broad selection of futures products, benefiting from the platform’s analytical tools and offerings, competitive pricing, and professional-grade execution technology.
