Hello  Lionel,

excuse me i should have been perfectly clear and i was not. the emini
as i referred to it is actually a E-MINI S&P 500 In September 1997,
the CME introduced a smaller version of the S&P 500 futures and
options contracts, called the E-mini - for elecronic Mini - S&P 500.
The E-mini is the futures industry's first small-order electronic
order routing and execution system, allowing you to get your Mini S&P
500 trades executed quickly and easily. The order entry, routing and
trade matching systems for all E-mini options and for smaller futures
orders are completely electronic. Traders are executed primarily on
the GLOBEX® electronic trading system. Larger futures are executed by
open outcry on the trading floor by means of an All-Or-None (AON) pit
facility. E-Mini futures and options trade virtually around-the-clock
with the exeception of the 15 minute period from 3:15 - 3:30 p.m.
Monday - Friday (Chicago Time). After each Friday's close, at 3:15
p.m., markets will be closed until the normal GLOBEX start-up at 5:30
p.m. Sunday.
