If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would think the idea was to just get you to buy blindly. Cover your shorts at whatever price you can before you get further shafted.

YM is still on the CBOT. Do you see the symbol YM on the Globex.

Here we go again this time it's the exchange. It's strange how these proplems occur on big down days.

Is it THAT obvious ?

Globex: Hello

Goverment: We need you to hit the scramble data switch, we cant have the ES break that low, and trade down to the 1260.50 area this late in the session.

Globex: Okay you got it.

*(%^@^%#*%

LOLOLOLOL

Is that the famous red line in Washington ?

Pit traders are saying eminis are down and of course the market popped to say "SCREW YOU RETAIL."

You must not have traded the YM recently? It moved to Globex about a month ago.

The main reason why i didn't want to see cme/cbot merge. ICE getting the russell may turn out to be a good thing. The YM trading past 1615 was a welcomed benefit as well.

If I am wrong no problem. My understand, because it's when I started to trade ZC, is that everything was moving to Globex. I had read something about it a couple of months back. It sucks irregardless. I don't trust the data I am seeing. It just keeps bursting.

This should give some pause as to a fair and orderly market. This is in your face manipulation.
