Atleast this will stop people from taking their profits too quickly.

Could this have affected platforms connected to CME too? I ask because my friend on Ninja Zen/Dorman couldn't log in around the same time on CME ES e mini. When she called to complain they had alot of ppl down that were in trades and told here that only TT and CTS T4 didn't go down? I am just trying to get some input because I was considering giving Ninja another go but with TT data instead of Dorman/Zen. TIA

What do you guys think, call the pits for some profit or wait to see if the ES breaks 1289.5?

ES trades on GLOBEX on the CME, not the eCBOT!

No kidding friend? Re-read my post and don't speed read this time...

So I ask again is it possible that a ECBOT issue brought down some order platforms such as NT running CME orders. My friend complained about ECME issues the same time you guys posted ECBOT issues?

Turns out I can't call the pits, and close the trade,,,so I'm basically relying on hope at this point,,,I should be hedging myself right now. Looks like we got a descending triangle formation on the Q's currently at the top trend line,,,hmmm

I've got to say - HOW does an entire exchange just stop working? I mean, that's all they do on the ECBOT is move data. And what exactly happens short of a terrorist attack on every piece of (hopefully collocated) infastructure to cause an entire market to stop trading?

Seriously, aren't there at least a half dozen backups in place to prevent the entire exchange from shutting down?

If somebody has an idea how this can happen, please enlighten me.
