DJIA Minis ?

The spread is about 5-10 points during the first hour. It's not as active until the cash opens.

do u mean 5-10 during the first hour of trading and then it is more liquid when the cash opens - if so, what is the liqidity and the volume when the cash opens?

5 might be acceptable if it is liquid , 10 is too much!
 
the dow has a bit of a fight on to day

so if you trade it - do u get out without slippage-- or is the spread 5, but most traders cost u 10 or ?

have u got a depth of market on it?
 
J-Trader does have Depth of Market for Mini Dow. Unlike Mini SP or NQ, you can see more than 5 best bid/offers. There is slippage 5, sometimes 10 points.
 
CBOT Eliminates Market Data Fees for IB Customers

Effective May 1, 2002, the CBOT has eliminated market data fees for IB retail customers for all CBOT Level 1 & 2 quotes. CBOT futures include the newly launched mini-sized Dow futures, US Treasury Bonds, Notes & Fed Funds futures. Click here for more information on the Dow product. For a complete listing of CBOT (ACE) products offered by IB, click here.
 
Apparently, in their effort to follow the successful CME E-mini path, CBOT has eliminated the exchange data fees for these products for all vendors, not just IB. I am able to bring up the YJ and YM contracts on esignal now, whereas I could not previously. I never heard about this from esignal.

Apparently, the free quotes are only for mini-sized contracts on a/c/e, not all a/c/e contracts. So you cannot bring up ZB (a/c/e normal size 30 yr bonds), but you can see YH, the mini size tbond.
 
jeffm,

re: CBOT mini-sized contracts - "i never heard about this from eSignal" ...
