CBOT down?

I like the YM and I really don't know why... just familiarity I guess... these outages are disconcerting but can be dealt with ok.

 

even if you know to go quickly to hedge, you can still miss a huge spike before you figure out that it's down -> yet again

 

Pre-OPen message... meaning tomorrow or if they can even try and open today lol.

 

You think NQ tracks YM???

 

They are somewhat correlated, aren't they?

Are you trying to sound like a smart ass like most posters here at elitetrader by the way?

I am trying to hedge my short position and in terms of tick value i see nothing wrong buying NQ.

I won't be the most perfect hedge, but I am doing this only because CBOT is down.

 

The truth is I just went long ES 1539-1540

 

Best Hedge for YM is ES not NQ !! [Future's wise]

 

All GTD orders that were resting were cancelled at the exchange.

 

thanks for the tip.

thing is, NQ was the first contract available in my platform and didnt wanna waste time opening up ES.

next time i'll use ES.

 

I wonder whether the system is running on Windows 2003 servers.
