If they want to bust my trade, fine I can live with that. When I heard about the bust and called IB to make sure I was flat for the day, they told me they were waiting for a list from ACE and would not confirm for sure if I were flat or still short. I finally got a hold of ACE (after the market closed) and it seems pretty sure a bunch of us are holding short thru the weekend. Here is the # for ACE 312 347-4600 Here is the # for CBOE investigation team: 312 435-3660 They have all this marketing fluff to attract people to the eminis so call and give them your 2 cents
so if i accidentally enter 2 contracts instead of 1 .. can i get my trades busted? i mean.. fair is fair, right?
Well I was up 625 bucks per contract when the market closed then IB busted some of my trades and now I'm up 1200 bucks per contract! I'm not sure if this is right. Have they busted anyone else's trades yet?
You guys have it all wrong. No scam. No manipulation Good old fundamental analysis. Its all in the Unemployment numbers. I mean that's what Yahoo has ... and they can't be wrong .. Yahoo is never wrong. lol
ROFL Good old Yahoo - can always rely on them to come up with some sort or rubbish like that. Natalie
Nothing wrong with Yahoo... did u know that there INDEX prices are "live"... set your your browser on 1 second refresh and they match my data feed..... a gift, better stilll feed it into excel and you can get 5 min bar charting free... nothing wrong with yahoo..
ABSOLUTELY my opinion - if somebody is allowed to trade he should know the difference between 100 and 10.000 and he should have control over his fingers.
EXACTLY THE QUESTIONS TO ANSWER ARE THESE How do you trade next time a move similar to this shows up? Do you trust it? Will the trades stand? Is it news precipitating a legitimate fall? OR after market close "some" trades get busted and you may or may not have a closed position? This is a completely f^cked up situation. The exchange selectively forces "some traders" to go home naked while the true culprits get a free ride.
