ES at 12:04pm on 1/13 !!??

Recommended Posts

I have never seen anything like that volume go down - 224k contracts traded in one minute! This should be interesting.

Anyone have any comments on that price action in ES?

 

"Between 11:03 and 11:04 CT today, there were a series of transactions in ESH0 in which a market participant appears to have inadvertently traded approximately 200,000 contracts as both buyer and seller. CME maintains trade practice and risk management rules and procedures respecting such matters. In keeping with standard practices and CME's self-regulatory responsibilities, CME is reviewing the circumstances of this event."

Hmmm you would think that an order like that would have moved the market more, it absorbed it well, so there was some conviction on the part of the other side of the trade.

Thanks fulcrumtrader.

I wonder how the algo programs responded to this unusual activity.

Was the same buyer and seller - "a market participant appears to have inadvertently traded approximately 200,000 contracts as both buyer and seller"

That seems to be the story out of the CME so far........much of this story seems very odd to me so far.......hmmmm???

 

I will be checking this latter to see what it shows for the time period involved............ http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/us-index/e-mini-sandp500_quotes_timeSales_globex_futures.html

if the CME allows crossings of a buy order and sell order at the same broker, then it sounds like a typo whereby the operator of the order was meant to cross a smaller lot size?

These were algorithmic automated order entries strung together (tons of them) in under ONE SECCOND of time within the same trade entity.......this is not your typical fat finger single entry mistake.

Hello all.....WEEKEND UPDATE!

 

It appears the CME will let the trades stand from the event discussed here in this thread. The CME for the FIRST TIME EVER just allowed someone to trade within the same entity over 200,000 contracts in the ES (that is suppose to be making a market with yourself and NOT within compliance). Even though the trades stand I have now "sanitized" all my bid/ask data runs of this very interesting single party trade event.......THANKS CME for all the new "games"!!! :rofl:

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
