Individuals can view a Flash demo of sample data on CME's Web site at http://www.cme.com.  

"For the first time, customers will be able to receive CME market data straight from the source-Chicago Mercantile Exchange," said CME Chairman Scott Gordon, "and by offering a combination of market data, news and charting capabilities at a reasonable price, we hope to provide services that customers can put to use in their online trading." 

"CME market data will be delivered directly over the Internet, without the need for any software besides a browser," said President and CEO Jim McNulty. "Users will have the flexibility to customize the market data and other services they want, while keeping a portal open to their futures broker or other sites." 

In addition to the CME market data, users may purchase additional charting services from FutureSource and news services from OsterDowJones Commodity News. The technology behind CME E-quotes has been  provided by Caplin, the originator of RTTP-Real Time Text Protocol-which enables distribution of streaming market data via the Internet. 

The services will appear in the browser in a professional-trader type of window, which can be customized by the user, who can decide which contracts to watch, how much space to allocate for charting and whether to view headline news only or to click on a headline and view the full story. Because the service is browser-based, subscribers will be able to access the service from anywhere in the world that they have an Internet connection and Web browser. 

Subscriptions to the service are available via a secure link at http://www.cme.com, and payment may be made by all major credit cards. E-mini equity packages, including quotes and charts, are  available for as low as $30 per month.
