SP on Glbx

Recommended Posts

Can someone tell me why SP hasn't/won't ever go on globex? I don't comprehend why they cannot do it...and it wouldn't compete with ES per se...since CME already does different sizes on fx on globex.

Yes I know it is pit-traded. The question is why couldn't it be brought over to globex? There is no technological limitation...so why not just do it. I'm sure there are enough MM who would be willing to make a market in it just like ES.

diablo same reason ES is so popular...deep liquidity with instant fills...open outcry is signif. slower. Currently SP is avail after mkt hours so its not a question of can they do it AH...they already do which begs question..why not trade side by side during mkt hours.
