If I were to put my tin-foil hat on and guess at a conspiracy theory - I would say that it had to be someone who had access to Globex and who...
Here is an email I got in reply from the CME regarding yesterdays emini price spike. We have received your e-mail dated 02/04/2003 concerning...
Now that the CME is a public company, you would think that some of the ratings agencies would be concerned by an event that could scare people...

If the tick were reduced to .10, traders would save a potential $7.50 on each emini. This would increase the participation in the emini from...
Think about it. The guys in the pit know who the pit arbs are (the guys with the headphones on). Why should they make a .10 wide market and let...
It will happen soon. The tick differential between the pit (.10) and the emini (.25) is distorting the market and causing the spread to widen...
1.) yes 2.) yes 3.) I think es97z 4.) there is a chart, data export feature, I have not used it. For more detailed info try the Qcharts...
