CME NYMEX COMEX are down

We all do. But you injected a sense of panic into your mindset by starting this thread in the first place.

If you have any questions, call your broker, or call the exchange yer doing your business with. Don't ask here. Because if you have tons of money on the line, you should not be asking here, where we cannot help you.

Treat your trading like a REAL business and speak with those who are the foundation of your business, like the exchanges you do business with?

Thanks for a “very helpful” advice. You just do not get it, but it is Ok.

Just so you know... I can appreciate the gravity of your situation last night. If I was doing what you were doing, I'd probably be raising all kinds of hell. Glad it worked out ok.

When there is data , trading platform ... problem, don't panic.
simply call the broker, and flatten your position.
Then power down your computer and go do other thing other than trading.
no point getting angry frustrated mad.

Learn to live with such problems. because it will happen every few weeks/months.
don't be in the hurry to understand the root cause.

Also don't attempt to call the help desk.
Because millions of people will be calling the help desk.
and the help desk will be totally overwhelmed.
Give the help desk staff a chance to breathe.

Typically all of the above works. Last night it would not. CME itself went down. Brokers could not do anything. This happens extremely rare. I personally have not witnessed such long CME outage ever.

Not sure who people are trying to calm down, but anyone concerned about a data outage is wildly overextended-----period.

This was not data outage. The whole Globex was out.

Trying to learn what is happening and panicking are 2 quite different things.
