Re: trailing stop

Dear Todd,

The "normal" spread between bid and ask (in the pit trading) for DJ is 5
points (point is $10 per contract). And "normal bear/bull raid" for DJ is 5
points too. That is price would go bellow bottom or top for 5 points before
reversing direction. But there are abnormal situations too.

As of e-trading (as oposit of pit) for DJ I know nothing and would like to
hear about it too.

Happy Holidyas

Yours, Alex
