Coffee 'KC' or 'KT' ?

November 6th, 2017, 10:43 AM

Hi,

Can someone explain the difference between Coffee Future 'KC' (ICE) and 'KT' (NYMEX)?

Which one I have to take? There are also two different Trading Hours:

CME Group --> 18:00-17:00 ET
ICE --> 4:15 AM - 1:30 PM

Thanks!

Unfortunately there is no volume for the KT contract.

Thus, you have to trade the KC contract.

(Unfortunately because live data for ICE contracts is very expensive.)

Hallo myrrdin

So I have to pay the $117 for ICE Data Fee?

btw: 4:15 AM - 1:30 PM is the trading hour for the electronic market, not the Pit session, right?

I do not pay the ICE data fee. I am medium to longterm trader and usually hold my trades for weeks or months. For the selection of the trade delayed price data is good enough. I receive it via Trade Navigator. To enter a trade I receive live bid / ask data from my broker.

As far as I know futures are only traded in the electronic market.
