  3. Yea, can't get out obviously. But ES has risen to about where YM was when I shorted an HOUR AGO, so I've got my finger on the ES buy button to help offset what I might start losing on my short.

  4. That's it. I'm long 15 ES. Even though 15 YM and 15 ES don't equal each other perfectly, it's insurance.

    This has never happened to me before in the 35 months I've traded. Had IB lock up several times of course but my other broker always was there as my backup.

    FUN TIMES!

    I'd be jumping for joy now having a two ES point profit on 15 contracts, except I'm LOSING ON THE YM SHORT!!!

    I just phoned with my broker. They have no idea when YM is online again - but they said that there must be a bigger problem. CBOT doesen't give any information.
