Quote from Ripley:
Is there anyway I can get access to all the historic sales data for the IDEM seat?
Anyone here know?
Quote from IV_Trader:
I notice the price collapse while volume going up in Seats vs. Volume chart around 2000-2001. Probably related to decimals/less profit era.
Quote from Pabst:
No. Futures were not subject to decimalization.
The break in seats was caused by the advent of electronic trading.
Prior to the Chicago exchanges evolving to "for profit" status, the precursor to being publicly traded, the value of memberships was directly tied to pit traded volume.
I almost bought one last year for $26k.Quote from Maverick74:
