  2. Busting trades is not OK, IMHO. Trade is trade. There will be some insiders who will profit in a big way from that situation.
    3 years ago I had a bust in a volatile option which cost me thousands of bucks. I had a limit order in stock options. The order was filled - I sold options and bought them back within the same day with nice profits. The next day the trade was busted because someone claimed that my initial trade was outside the volatility range.
    I mean I didn't force my counterpart to trigger the trade- but he did. After the closing he changed the rules and busted the trade.
    This was not fair. For a non US citizen it is difficult to get to your rights if you are not familiar with the laws.

    Everytime I hear the word "bust" I know that some small fishes are fu... up , which is not OK. :mad:

    This makes me want to know two things:

    1. Can one know in real-time if trades are likely to be busted?

    2. If so, can one predict the bust range?


    Guess it's time to do some research. Any discussion/input on the subject would definitely be interesting.

    Cheers! :)
