I traded DJIA Futures a couple/three times. On the one hand it's lower Risk/Reward than SP or ND.

My impression was that it's a market that you have to really anticipate where to be Long or Short and place your orders a tick or two inside of those prices. It was very thin when I traded it.

By comparison to SP/ND anyway. If there aren't DJ Minis then that may be the reason.

Oh, it's traded on the CBOT. Globex is a CME tool. That could have something to do with it as well. Remember you have to pay Exchange Fees for the CBOT on top of the CME if you want to track DJ.

You know, I have been following Ed Downs stuff for quite some time and the thought has crossed my mind to switch to the INDU futures as well. He makes some very good calls.

Have not heard about electronic INDU futures....that might be the icing. We see....
