What happened at 3:45est???

BFD! DA'S!:eek:

 

at 3:45 est today, i sold 1% of my account (building another house).

 

4 billion dollars, not shares

 

no, $622 million went through. All but $622 million of the orders were cancelled prior to execution.

 

Spent the late afternoon collecting busted option trades ...

 

For real?

 

Very ugly multiple busts after the close ...

 

I can't believe that shit. Sell program error in the underlyings or not, the market did trade at those levels. I'm sure calls you bought on the cheap are now busts.

 

Last I heard all of them were against us and the excuse across the board was "bad underlyer" ...

Someday I want to be able to throw away the trades that did not work out ...

 

I'd freak out. It could've just as easy been a bona fide break. You took risk iniating buys. And it's not your fault someone sold them.
