    Hi, can anyone tell me why when if I'm looking at the big dow contract on the CBOT website and click 'live book' it comes up with the mini dow?? Most of the volume seems to be in the mini-dow, does anyone really trade the big contract or do they just go for the S&P500??
    Thanks.

  2. It might have something to do with the big contract being pit traded.

    Correct me if I'm wrong.

    So what are we seeing here? A fake that will turn into a bullish race or is it profit taking time and a dip down towards the 400 area? I'm sick and tired of seeing my shorts getting stopped out but don't feel like being Johnny come lately and go long just when the sucker drops 200 points in a day :confused: C'mon you professionals, give me a clue ;)
