    Same problem here, using J-Trader and GHCO

    Send an order (sell1 ES march 03 @892.00)
    Order remained (S) which means send to exchange
    I directly called GHCO (At this time ES traded @891.00)
    ES rises during the phonecall (They're on the other line with the exchange) and suddenly I get a fill (sell 1 ES @892.00) when market is trading @ 893.25
    This is why I use Advanced Futures / GHCO. They covered the trade for me @ 892.00 (and rebated commissions)

    While writing this I see ES @ 891.00 (So I would have had a positive trade)...... Still very happy with the service I received.

    I'm glad I switched to AF only about 2 weeks agoo... (Just in time) :D :p :D
     
  7. Maybe if any of the three AF customers were trading ES preopen perhaps they could tell us if AF experienced the same outage when GLOBEX had its network problems.

    Puffy,

    Take a look at my previous post. I responded to the problem and I'm an AF customer.
