Re: Fastest most volatile contract on CME

man, just don't enter a limit order if you need to get in or out!

But if you don't want a nasty fill, put in a limit.

then again, they still have fast markets and when that is announced, all gloves are off, taht goes for all pit traded products.

I don't miss those, it takes forever to get a reported fill, even a market order and you have no clue where you got out.

That market gaps up and down alot, i think I mentioned it already, but trading meats is a totally different animal, no pun intended.

the liquidity is poor for bellies. I don't suggest anyone start trading that product like I did when I first got into futures.

if you're good at trading gaps, thats a market to be in. I'd say take a look, what else do you have to lose.

You pit-trading via phone, or electronic interface?

I know at least one broker (Open E Cry) has pit-trading available from its standard DOM - it routes the order directly to the pit floor broker on their handhelds for execution.

Just food for thought...
