No, nothing is trading. They'll have a preopen since it's been down for some time. Adjust your orders then.
The last time CBOT went down..... I lost a lot of money and it really @#$%^& up my charts! actually that was the day i lost 1/3 of my equity..... after it reopened i decided to donk off my bankroll.
Wouldn't a pit trade be far more expensive that an electronic trade? Why not just hedge on the ES? It may not be one to one, but close enough.
for those trading mini-dow, the best hedge is NQ which has the same tick value. I went long NQ to hedge my YM short... fuck the CBOT anyways... when are tehy gonna move their ass to CME???
