I know the CME Group says by 'the end of January 2008' according to their very old press releases. Anybody heard anything specific?

Increasnow is getting a head start on a New Years resolution... he has made a useful post!!! I had forgotten the YM on ECbot trades till 5:00pm EST. And the 5% (vs 10%) overnight limit means a NYSE circuit breaker level 1 move will have to occur during regular trading hours! That's cool! Good find increasenow. Thanks Osorico
Osorico...thanks...I never forgottern your statement...you like the "granularity" of the YM and trade its force...or something like that
