CBOE Down

Very nice, CBOE not working. Exactly as u said. There is no public information in media about it... :-/

Only here on ET there is thread about it. Everywhere else it seems like everything is OK... lol
 
Over 2 hours now, no updates from the cboe when they will be up. Currently have postions in the SPX weelkies that expire tomorrow that I can't trade.
 
Nice.. I'm stick in SPX contracts that I wanted to trade at the open but unable to trade.. now owe a lot of money since its been ticking up.

Me too.
Imagine if this were monthly expiration day for VIX or SPX. These guys are beyond belief.
 
Everything's working.
Good thing not much was going on today re VIX. SPX was more annoying, but fortunately I was well hedged there. Still, this is very scary. Where were their backup systems? Do they even HAVE backup systems?
 
Imagine trying to close or roll a position in weekly SPX or OEX options on a big down day and the exchange is down.

Job #1 in trading is managing risk. There's only 1 way to manage this risk and that's to avoid these single exchange vehicles.
