Re: Mini/SP discrepancy

the price spiked down on the e-mini.  The fact that the sp worked it way
down later in the day is not relevant.  (3 min or 3 hours)
with in 30sec of the spike down on the mini the two contracts were trading
together agin. (as together as they normaly do)

Sorry you got cought on the wrong side of that.   I was short and got
positive slipage on the exit, but I have been on the other side and it is
not fun.
