What is a Chef's pick?

Question

Accepted Answer

On a day when no ticket passes the usual rules, a Chef's pick is the one best spread you can still fill near its price: a ticker near its 20-day high, or a fair fill up to 48¢ per 1 dollar. It is labelled Chef's pick and kept apart from the record. When: only when the normal 3:00 PM cook serves nothing. What widens, in order: first a ticker within 1% of its 20-day high and above its 20-day average (instead of a fresh high); then a fair fill up to 48¢ per 1 dollar (instead of 43¢). What never widens: both legs' bid/ask gaps stay at 25% of their price or less, and the mid still costs 43¢ or less per 1 dollar, so the fill is real. One a day at most, the closest to the money, then the cheapest. The ticket, the card and the post say "Chef's pick" and why it is outside the usual rule. Its own record: Chef's picks are scored the same way but kept apart, so the record stays the strict rule.
