Single Stock Trading
Single stock futures (SSF) are futures contracts on individual
stocks. A OneChicago single stock futures contract is an agreement
to deliver 100 shares of a specific stock at a designated
date in the future, called the expiration date. In most cases,
four expiration dates are available for trading OneChicago
single stock futures. Margin requirements are generally
20% of the cash value of contract, although this requirement
may be lower if the investor also holds certain offsetting
positions in cash equities, stock options or other security
futures in the same securities account.
Because there is no uptick rule for OneChicago's products,
you can establish a short position on a downtick. Short
sellers may also benefit from eliminating the costs and
inefficiencies associated with the stock loan process.
