Hi booters, After following the ongoing conversation a bit, I thought it best to come back to this origin to make the observation that it seems to me most likely at least one side of every e'mini trade is a limit order. I don't think there is any mechanism in globex to cross market orders with each other between the spread. If I happen to send a market buy order at the same time someone else sends a market sell order, I believe that my market buy order would be crossed with a standing limit sell order, and the market sell order would be crossed with a standing limit buy order, but I'm not certain of that. If anyone knows otherwise, please say so. Dan
