Maybe the CME wanted to SAVE the trading floor so they created this technical problems on the Globex so people would stop migrating over to the electronic platform and depend on the floor? At this pace(volume in eminis rocketing up year after year), in a few years, everyone will trade electronically. How does that sound qdz5? LOL. I'm normally not a sucker for conspiracy theory, but wtf? Just feel like throwing it out there. Whaddaya think?
my theory is that the sec is in on it. they make all these rules to get daytraders to move over to the eminis, then globex halts and they will open it much much higher, or much much lower, depending upon whether the majority position.
when they open globex there is going to be a lot of trapped shorts scrambling to cover.might be a good play to short the cover pop.
I went long on QQQ after the Globex halt. Still waiting for the futures to open. Hope we are right on this
