“We are pleased TradeStation is facilitating trading in our new Micro WTI Crude Oil futures,” said Peter Keavey, Global Head of Energy at CME Group. “With these smaller sized contracts, a broader range of sophisticated traders will now be able to access the transparency and liquidity of our benchmark WTI futures.
