FYI: (My first experience with investing came as a 15 year old with a summer job in the wheat pit as a floor runner at the CME. I did it for two summers, my job was to take the slip orders from the floor traders to a phone operate who would transmit them to the brokerage office who would excute the trade.)
Decision Comes as Activity in CME’s Pits Has Fallen to 1% of All Futures Contracts Traded Daily
