Real-time block trade alerts allow you to customize notifications anytime a block trade occurs that fits the criteria you define.  They are available for futures and options on all block eligible contracts and can be personalized with notifications sent to your inbox or mobile device.

Go to cmegroup.com/blocks and select ‘My Alerts.’  Then you will be prompted to create a CME Group login if you don’t have one that already exists.  Select either futures, options, or both. Next, select the asset class, then choose all product groups or the desired products. 

The minimum alert trade size can be edited, which allows you to be alerted based on the block size that fits your interest.  Alerts can be edited, added, or deleted from your CME Group account. Additionally, you can download the CME Group app to get notified when block trades happen in the products you've selected.

Wherever you go, you can stay informed on the markets.
