TradersAudio.com broadcasts LIVE, via the internet, from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange S&P 500 Futures trading floor 8:30 - 15:15 cst Monday through Friday. Holiday schedule click here http://www.cmegroup.com/tools-information/holiday-calendar/index.html

TradersAudio.com subscribers are individual stock, futures and bond traders, fund managers, stock and futures brokers, futures analysts and corporate institutions in countries around the world.

The subscribers of TradersAudio.com are listening to the SP contract trading Live in Chicago - while watching the e-mini ES, another futures contract or stock on their computer.

The broadcaster may call the 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 March 2010 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 1080.00 is the bid and 1080.50 is the offer. But could also mean, 1090.00 is the bid and 1090.50 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 e-mini ES chart and trades.

The prices you SEE in the video are the S&P e-mini electronic symbol ES, Globex March 2010 contract. The prices you HEAR are the S&P CME pit traded symbol SP, Pit Traded March 2010 contract. The two contracts trade within a tick or two of each other, during pit traded hours 8:30 - 15:15 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'.
