Eurex are pretty notorious for busting trades. Just amazed they didn't bust it. I think most people thought they would, I certainly did.
Just crazy. I was actually long 115.62s at the time and just could not believe what was happening. I tried getting out for a loss as it started to go down, but it was too quick, and I am lucky I didn't get out as I managed to pay 58 and 59 when it reopened. If I had put automatic stop on my position, god knows where it would have taken me out.
Something similar happened in the bobl a few years ago, but that was just after Christmas when there was nothing in the market.
that was the Phily Fed number on the 27th Dec 06 i think. Didn't it go 2 points or something.

Good point.
You were long(apparently),tried getting out(yeah,right),then managed to PAY 58 and 59 upon reopening.
Why would you buy more?
Unless you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Which is obvious.
