NASDAQ will also adjust pre-market trades from 9:19:00 a.m., Eastern Time, up to and, inclusive of, the Opening Cross, in the 24 securities to the new NOOP value. This is a non-appealable decision.

    After further conversations with the industry and UTP exchanges, and in consultation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, NASDAQ has decided to alter its decision on trading actions that occurred between 9:19:00 a.m. and 9:32:59 a.m., ET. However NASDAQ’s decision to adjust prices for trades that were executed within the Opening Cross as already communicated in Head Trader Alert #2005-069. To be consistent with UTP exchanges, and in order that the entire industry be in full coordination, NASDAQ will break any and all trades from 9:19:00 a.m. through 9:32:59 a.m., ET, not including the Opening Cross, that are more than 15% away from the previous NOCP. This includes breaking the pre-market trades in the 24 adjusted securities announced in Head Trader Alert #2005-069. The list of securities that will be affected by this decision will follow shortly and will be posted on NASDAQTrader.com.

    They screwed up this sentence:

    "However NASDAQ’s decision to adjust prices for trades that were executed within the Opening Cross as already communicated in Head Trader Alert #2005-069."

    Does that mean what was adjusted IS STILL adjusted or busted. CLOWNS!!!!

    06/17/2005 09:51:46 ET NASDAQ MarketWatch is reviewing executions resulting from the issue related to a firm that experienced technical problems this morning which resulted in possible erroneous transactions. MarketWatch requests that firms NOT CALL to inquire about this problem while the review is underway.

    they deside to wait until you close it and then screw you.

    long UHAL form 19.00. Got busted. Bought a bunch at 51 and 52. all good! SBSH f**k up. Screw those guys. They shouldn't have busted any. If you can't enter an order correctly you should pay. I don't see nasdaq busting any of my bad trades. If you bought within 15% of yesterdays close you should be fine.
     
  8. The NASD is nothing but a modern-day equivalent of the mob. They extract their fees, pay their executives outrageous salaries, and when something goes wrong, they fuck the people they're supposed to protect.

    yep. i got fill way away from my order(in my favor), then-my comp automatically place stop and target. target got filled too, but it still way away from market after 9:32. guess what-i got busted after 4pm,all way from my initial purchase and when i ask IB to bust trade where i close my position(which is still away from market)-they said-no sh**t Bob. your trade bust by SEC(! bs already). and we think we are right. man..now that was something!

    ----A trade(s) in your account has been busted or adjusted in accordance with the exchange decisions. IB believes that account positions are now correct. Please manage your portfolios accordingly----------------

    have nothing against IB, but "another firm" is really good in defense against little retailer.

    ---------------
    On Friday, June 17, another firm experienced a technical issue that caused erroneous trades in certain NASDAQ listed stocks. The issue began in pre-market trading and lasted until 9:32:00am EST, and included the opening cross. NASDAQ determined that the official opening prices in 24 securities would be adjusted to reflect market conditions at the time of the trade.
    -----------------------------

    why i have to pay for it?
