was just noticing the metals quotes went down right before open. nothing over here

maybe a good sign for the week.. esp with oil scratching 70 right now and dollar at a relative channel high.. nymex margins raised but not cbot, etc

it's definitely down...don't know a time for the pre-opening yet.

after a holiday with markets moving

( well I think I am hedged ok but have no clue

CQG has a notice out saying that CBOT will be postponing the open of electronic contracts.

I was able to enter a ZN order just after 5:30 tonight Chicago time, but when I went to cancel it just before the open, I couldn't. So it seems it was working for a little while anyway. Damn.

If anyone knows the pre-open and open times tonight, please post them when available.
