DJ vs E-Mini

["Jim Cox" <cayenne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hans,

	I think you missed my point.

	In my experience, the majority of new traders look forward to trading the
S&P Futures, which, as you know, during the day session is open outcry and
also capable of taking most kinds of orders. But, even though the contract
was cut in half last fall, the S&P remains the highest risk market.

	So it was my suggestion, in order for to gain trading experience in a
similar market with similar fundamentals while minimizing the risk factor
vis-a-vis the S&P, that new traders start out trading the DJ futures at the
CBOT. 

	I certainly have nothing against the european electronic markets, and I
hope Globex improves in the future. Perhaps one day all the markets will
electronic.

	Anyways, those are my thoughts. I have seen far too many new traders wash
out of the S&P. Perhaps trading the DJ futures would be a prudent first step.


	Jim
