North American Derivatives Exchange Introduces Japan 225 and India 50 Contracts and Extends Trading Hours

CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
The North American Derivatives Exchange (Nadex), the only government-regulated,
retail-focused, online futures exchange in the United States, announces today
the addition of Japan 225 and India 50 contracts and extends trading to 23
hours. As of today, Nadex is open from 6pm ET on Sunday to market close on
Friday (excluding 5pm - 6pm ET, Monday through Thursday, when Nadex will close
for end of day processes). The extended hours provide members with the
opportunity to trade currency, equity index, commodity, and event contracts
overnight between the hours of 2:05am and 8am ET when trading was previously
unavailable.

Nadex now lists Japan 25 and India 50 binaries and spreads based on SGX Nikkei
225 Index futures and SGX CNX Nifty Index futures traded on the Singapore
Exchange. The new contracts, offered in daily and weekly durations, will settle
the contracts to an expiration value calculated by Nadex based on a sample of
trade prices from the SGX Nikkei 225 Index Futures (for Japan 225 contracts) and
the SGX CNX Nifty Index Futures (for India 50 contracts).

Nadex offers an array of contract options, including binary and spread contracts
on energy (crude oil, natural gas, and Rbob gas), currencies (EUR, GBP, CAD,
CHF, YEN), and metals (gold, silver, copper). The Nadex product line also
includes equity index contracts (Wall Street 30, US 500, US Tech 100, Germany
30, Korea 200, FTSE 100®, Japan 225, India 50), agricultural (corn, soybeans),
and event contracts (jobless claims, Fed Funds, European Central Bank rate
announcements, nonfarm payrolls, unemployment rate).

"Our launch of the Japan 225 and India 50 will further expand the global reach
of our equity index product line," says Yossi Beinart, CEO and President of
Nadex. "This expansion responds to a growing interest in our existing index
contracts and our customers` requests for more international opportunities."

The Exchange`s binary contracts are all-or-nothing contracts that payout a fixed
amount to the side of the trade that finishes in-the-money. Spread contracts
offer traders a variable payout structure with controlled risk by limiting the
value of each contract at the upper and lower ends of each spread`s range. A
trader`s potential loss will not exceed the amount invested, and the potential
gain is limited by the contract`s cap (for buyers), or floor (for sellers).

Based on the contracts offered, trades on Nadex are easy to execute and easy to
track, and risk is limited and capped. The spread contracts expire daily, and
the binary contracts have durations from one week to as little as two hours.
Nadex markets are open for trading from 6pm ET on Sunday to market close on
Friday (excluding 5pm-6pm ET, Monday through Friday.
