I don't know about market orders, but back when the emini started, I
asked Jack Carl if stops were taken in the emini. My broker said yes,
but that if the price went more than 4 tics or points (can't remember if
he was saying tics or bigpoints), then it became a limit order. Of
course this conversation was about stops, not mkt orders. I can't
contribute more because I don't trade stk indices, but I thought I'd
mention it since it was from Jack Carl. They didn't just make this up
to cover the recent volatility.
