I wonder about that too but the $$ values seem so much more insignificant on that DOW contract. If I read it right the DOW futures are the DJI x $10, while the S&P is the SPX x $250. Does that mean one contract on the DOW is worth about $92,000 and one on the SPX is worth about $268,000? Seems like the 40K they are short on the SPX more than make up for their 15K long on the DOW. Although I agree that this is a fly in the bear ointment.

AA, The October issue of Futures Magazine has an interesting article called "The Elliot-Fibonacci Connection"... page 52 by Rudy Teseo. Connected with the article is a free excel spread sheet: "This spreadsheet automatically performs the retracement calculations described in the article."..., both price and time. Here's the Link..., it's the very first box. futuresmag.com The SS is only set up for down markets, perhaps someone can make one up to calculate up market wave structures. Chip
