Listen to FAQ's (MP3 format) from TradersAudio.com subscribers http://www.tradersaudio.com/faq.html
The broadcasters may call the S&P e-mini ES Globex contract, 'minis', 'the mini' or 'the screen'. Also, they may call the S&P CME SP Pit Traded contract, 'the big contract' or 'the S&P'. The broadcasters are calling the trades within a few feet of the S&P CME SP trading pit and are referring to the S&P CME SP contract.
You are hearing the broadcasters quote the current bid and offer of the S&P CME SP pit traded contract - quickly. When they say '0 even bid at one half', that could mean 1280.00 is the bid and 1280.50 is the offer. But could also mean, 1290.00 is the bid and 1290.50 is the offer. They are broadcasting tick for tick and must quote the figures to stay with the pit action. When the pit is packed and active they may just say, '0 at half' or '20 bid at 70'. It is easy to follow along when looking at the ES chart and trades.
The prices you SEE in the video are the S&P e-mini (electronic symbol ES) Globex Dec 2008 contract. The prices you HEAR are the S&P CME (pit traded symbol SP) Pit Traded Dec 2008 contract. The two contracts trade within a tick or two of each other, during pit traded hours 8:30 - 15:15pm cst.
The pit traders are trading the SP and may trade the ES also. When they do, the broadcasters may say 'they're trading the mini' or 'they just sold/bought the mini'.
