I hear ya, I got 4 contracts shorted at 13300. With my luck, by the time this is fixed, it'll be 13400. This is pissing me off.

I'm short, too. The ES is tanking, if that's any conciliation.

what does that even mean?

does it mean that a 13289 GTC stop gets executed wherever the dow is when it reopens?

That's what painful about it because if it goes back up to where it was before it went down, I'm gonna go nuts.

Not that there's anything i can do about it but bitch and whine like a little girl :mad:
