I doubt these are tradeable via an online broker. For one thing, I believe CME is exclusively an open outcry exchange (i.e. no computer/digital trading) so online broker integration would be tough. Plus, what day trader is interested in trading butter futures?

You may need to find a futures broker at a full service shop.

Go to the “overview” page discussing the Housing Index, and look at the bottom of the page for the “quicklinks” – its there (http://www.cme.com/trading/prd/re/housing_FO.html). The information on the CME website is fascinating – you can get real time quotes on futures contracts, and a full description of the terms and pricing of the intial contracts.

Good luck.
