Thanks Wayne,

I read somewhere that the emini S&P moves in 4 point increments
which causes a problem since it's not a 1:1 spread

Has this ever caused you dramas?

Wayne,

Went to IB and found Emini S&P as well as emini Russell200 on CME

The following is from a prior post from you

Trading Venue: CME ® Globex ®
Hours Mon/Thurs 5:00 p.m.-3:15 p.m. & 3:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m.; Shutdown period from 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. nightly; Sun & Hol 5:00 p.m.-3:15 p.m. Month end(3:15 p.m.) LTD(8:30 a.m.)^^^^^ (AON FLOOR ONLY! 8:30 a.m.-3:15 p.m.)

So does this mean
no trading 3:15pm - 3:30pm Mon - Thursday
no trading 4:30pm - 5:00pm Mon - Thursday
No trading at all fridays or saturdays

Do you know what LTD and AON Floor only means?


Regards
Freddo

Freddo,

I'm buggered if I know.

But day session is 8:30AM - 3:15PM Chicago time Mon - Friday.

It is trading when I get up about 11:00 AM Perth Time and trades right through till the close (3:15PM chicago) I then go to bed.

I rarely trade outside the day session.

Cheers
