Introducing Single Stock Futures for CQG Desktop and CQG One

Thom Hartle – July 27, 2026

The CME is now offering Single Stock Futures trading. The benefits include:

  • Around-the-clock trading access. Futures trade nearly 24 hours a day (17:00 CST to 16:00 CST) allowing you to trade on your schedule. Quickly respond to market-moving events.
  • Easily go long or short. Seamlessly take a long or short position – no stock borrowing fees required.
  • Trade with less upfront capital. Futures allow you to trade using margin. Control a larger position with a lower amount of upfront capital.
  • Develop your trading toolkit. In addition to taking directional positions, you can execute advanced spread strategies. Isolate single stock risk and opportunity without impacting your broader portfolio exposure.
  • Enjoy financially settled contracts. Single Stock futures are financially settled. This removes the responsibility to manage physical share delivery.

Here is a symbols table:
