RTY (E-mini Russell 2000)
The E-mini Russell 2000 futures contract, ticker RTY. Small-cap index exposure at $50 per point, $5 per tick, with sharper spikes and thinner books than ES.
In plain English
RTY tracks the Russell 2000 small-cap index at $50 per point in 0.10 point ticks worth $5. Small caps swing hard on rate and risk-sentiment days, and the thinner order book means slippage shows up faster than on ES.
At prop firms RTY is a rotation instrument: traders pick it when small caps are leading, but its spike behavior against tight daily loss limits makes it a specialist choice rather than a default.
- Long 2 RTY from 2100.00 to 2106.50: 6.5 points x $50 x 2 = $650.
