• EX-PIT
  
  Refers to a transaction outside the pit or ring. This is permissible for bona fide hedging purposes or to allow for a smooth transfer of accounts between brokerage firms. This type of transaction is under less scrutiny than ordinary transactions because there is no public offering of the positions.
