Up to now "big mama" FDAX runs on very little volume (<30k contracts for the entire morning),
the new-born FDXM is <1k contracts for its first morning.
The chart shows the 1min spread between FDXM and FDAX.
With the current liquidity it doesn't make sense anyway to trade the contract.
That's why I'm waiting for the spread to normalize (which should also be the time
when IB and others offer it regularly).
When you look at the DMM schemes that @Big Mike gave in post #24 and compare that to the bid/ask volume,
you can see that the designated market makers do not comply yet. And without the DMMs' compliance the Eurex
would be ill-advised to open the contract for retail.
Since leading brokers like IB still don't take orders (except for test accounts), it's ok.
But the designated market makers still fail to quote the necessary volume.
