It is a very interesting story especially given the timing. The FSTE dropped almost 100 points in 2hrs this morning.

Techincaly they would operate to 5 9's, that is 99.99999 uptime and they for sure would have back ups or dual systems that fail over to each other in emergency. Im in London and there are no internet problems or similar reported by ISPs, unless anyone else can shed some light.

Im eagerly awaiting the opening of the US markets, might even pop to the bank and get out some cash. Just in case.

It is supposed to open again at 14:00 so it will be interesting to see what happens.

I know there are some hawk-eyed ATS members that watch movements on the exchanges so will be interesting to see what they spot (if anything) that may seem 'odd'.

Yes that is an interesting read - I think very 'convenient' but as its probably stated, just a crash and no hidden agenda.

possible big craash down 146 points ! Half way to the biggest ever
