    Me too,,,we are going to retest lows,, maybe volume will pick up and take it out. But that still doesn't mean anything unless I can close the trade and take the profit. This will be an interesting day.

    I would like to know how it happens to seems to happen at once a year, which is why the pit will always be there. Wasnt the ecbot extremely slow on Monday as well? Could this have anything to do with grains going electronic on Tuesday?

  3. it should be safe to know whether your broker can access to the pit...most can but not all , at least directly.

  6. Let's say the ES drops to 1284 then the eCBOT hooks up the jumper cables and gets movin'....

    ...what happens to the orders that were on the servers? Do they all get filled? Or pulled?
