Nice, I only lost a few thousand cause I couldnt trade my SPXW early in the morning... The site mentioned "The CBOE will allow 1 1/2 quote width relief floor wide." What does 1 1/2 quote width relief mean?
Lame: We regret the systems outage that delayed todayâs opening of CBOE. We have isolated the software issue that caused the problem and have made the necessary adjustments for a normal opening tomorrow. We are also conducting an ongoing and thorough internal review of the software problem to prevent something like this from happening again. Moreover, we determined that todayâs issue was in no way related to a cyber-attack. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused and we look forward to a normal opening tomorrow. I still want to know where their backup systems were, and if they even have such a thing. On the evidence, nope.
Oh I dunno if it's that lame. At least they fessed up it was their fault and didn't blame it on the terrists.
warning shot. next time exchange will be down just before flash spike in either direction and will come back at extreme point and all your stop orders or margin calls will be executed there that s why i prefer forex and play stock index moves via fx risk on/off.
