before everybody starts yelling at me I am crazy, think
twice guys !!!
I am pretty sure that todays action in the YM was a
major abuse of the markets. I think of the following scenario:
1. One shorts massively CME S&P Futures or E-Minis
2. The same person (or an affiliate) enters an erroneous
order in DOW / YM futures driving the whole market down,
including far more liquid ES
3. At the bottom closes out short pos in the ES.
I came to this as I have tick chart based indicators,
these told me that someone entered massive sell limits
short before the DOW / YM "mistake" happened.
Also note, this uses intermarket differences (busting trades)
and coherences (arbitrage).
THE CTFC MUST URGENTLY INVESTIGATE THIS
Quote from Kicking:
When they say they bust all trades below 9018, does that mean the guys who bought near the lows and sold for a quick bounce may be left with a short position?
Unfortunately Globex is not going to bust trades. The Dow mini blip was about 6%, the ES/NQ sympathy blips were about 1.4%, and Globex doesn't think that was significant enough. It's a shame as an awful lot of people got hurt real bad, and the most the clerical jerk who caused the whole fiasco will get is a reprimand.Quote from saxon:
That's it...that's all.
If GLOBEX doesn't bust todays trades in line with the action ACE has taken, I'm moving my business over to ACE where they at least seem willing to correct a problem when they have one.
