help me understand limit up? emergency

Quote from Early2Rise:

any recommendations on what to do? at this point 1 hr from the close im going to wait till it re-opens tonite.

Were you short or just looking to short? it just went limit up again :eek:
 
This limit business is so stupid. It should be closer to 5 or even 10% per day. That might open up the door manipulation and squeezes, but we're in a free market.

I don't trade Arg, so I don't know what I'm talking about. Just an observation.

Thats is exactly what would happen (manipulation and squeezes)without limits. See the great March Wheat spike of 1996 . . .
 
The March-1996 Wheat isn't a good example. "It" happened on the last trading day, during the last minute of trading in that contract. The only market participants who had any business having an open-position at that time were commercial users, not speculators. Instead of a single, fixed price limit, it may be better if there were multiple upside and downside limits, similar to stock index futures.
 
I reversed with 10 contracts . . . so net long 6 contracts seconds after the open yesterday. I pulled out 10cents on each 6 contracts for 3k. But still in the hole from the original shorts.

I don't think Chi March is running the show right now. I think Minni is running the show. Chi is the weakest out of all of the wheat products, it came off, but kansas and minni did not. I don't think there will be significant selling in chi until minni starts to at least level off. Just my opinion, not an expert.
 
Buy 1042.00 - Sold 1062.75 = +19.25
Buy 1049.50 - Sold 1062.75 = +13.25
Buy 1058.00 - Sold 1062.75 = + 4.75
= +37.25 x $50 = $1862.5 per contract
$1862.50 x 10 contracts = $18,625.00

That's what good the eGrains are!
