    Hello,

    Imagine you trade a very illquid futures contract where Market makers are sometimes simply non existent and you make an error and initiate/close a position by error way out of fair value... Imagine something like you get your fill with 100k loss per contract compared to fair value and you miss the 8 minutes schedule to request trade bust( globex )... Something tremendous like you buy at 10000 something that is 5000 at FV( related market )

    Will the exchange( CME or NYMEX ) bust the trade or not?

    Thanks a lot.
     
  2. There are protection limits in place. It varies by contract
