  4. CME has safeguards in place to protect traders in cases like this, just think is you had a stpmkt order in place. Of coarse if you had a resting buy order at 10300 you would be smiling. I don't think the CBOT will do anything about this.

  5. Hmmm.... that just cost me over $2k. Exchange is not busting so far. How long does it take to make that decision?

    Oh.. just got a call. Not busting. They just confirmed it to my clearer. I hope that this will be reviewed. Part of doing business.

  8. Lucky for me, the other guys in my group were well over their limits, so they couldn't easily get out and it bounced back. This would have been really ugly otherwise. I'm glad I'm the only one in the group who lost.
