    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

    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?

    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.
