And The Nasdaq Breaks...
Right on cue for the late-day squeeze ahead of tomorrow's FOMC... The Nasdaq breaks and BATS declares self-help...
- *NASDAQ OPTIONS MARKET CURRENTLY HAVING SYSTEM ISSUES
- *BATS OPTIONS HAS DECLARED SELF-HELP VS NASDAQ OPTIONS MARKET -
* * *
As a reminder, every time the Nasdaq options market breaks, it is a green light to buy all-in. From February:
- *BATS OPTIONS DECLARED SELF-HELP VS BOSTON OPTIONS EXCHANGE
- *NASDAQ OMX BX OPTIONS HAS DECLARED SELF HELP AGAINST BOX
And sure enough... the bounce begins...
* * *
And from August:
Surprise...
- *BATS: ROUTING TO NASDAQ OPTIONS MKT SUSPENDED AS OF 11:06:07 ET
- *BATS INVESTIGATING OPTIONS MKT ISSUE
- *NOM ISSUES WITH OPRA DATA IN SYMBOL RANGE HD-HO
- *BX OPTIONS ISSUES WITH OPRA DATA IN SYMBOL RANGE GP-HN
- *NASDAQ OPTIONS MARKET, BX OPTIONS HAVING ISSUES ON SOME SYMBOLS
Which might help explain this...

But I thought it was going up?
BULLISH~!
RIPS
The HFT algos are having a war between the big players cashing in their
Chips and the Fed PPT buying the dump. Can't have markets crash before
The big announcement.
SHENANIGANS, I call shenanigans.
Double more Bullish. Look for The Queen of Print to get impatient tomorrow possibly leading to a sharp selloff. Followed immeadiately with BTFD.
raise rates Yellen! please! dare ya! destroy yourself and all your overlords! make yourself instantly insolvent! destroy the bond carry trade that all wall st banks live on! destroy all the interest rate derivates that uphold the US treasury market thereby utterly destroying the global fascists in DC! raise rates! please! please! please!
Does it every break on the way up?
Looks like another Hindenburg day.
Makes the 142,236,254,566th time since the 08 lows. Yep, thats something I can believe in.
PS: Hindenburgs were somewhat useful pre 08 just like all the other stuff. Not so much today. But it does make good fodder.
Damn! I was going to sell everything.
time for stocks to go green.
The nasdaq has been broken for years already. this is nothing new.
but i didnt put a stop profit on my shorts
Nothing like a bubbly market.....
Perhaps something is lodged in cargo bay 7...........
"I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that."
2001 Space Odyssey, great reference.
When HAL 9000 declared self-help, it jettisoned a pilot into space.
It would thus be totally awesome to see a banker loudly be jettisoned off a high tower floor every time the exchange breaks, chair and all.
You think this slows VIRTU?
AI humor?
It's developing a personality.
I wonder how deviant its humor can get.
Let's sacrifice a baby server to the AI gods.
AI, accept our sacrifice and open the NASDAQ portal of pleasure.
Amen.
Hmmmm, maybe the squid was right for once.
the squid is the law
it broke 15 years ago
It only accepts quarters.
someone's gotta go back and get a shitload of quarters
Ah, how I love a good Slim Pickens reference....

The system isn't designed to cope with selling
S&P emini up over 9 points since the abysmal "data" was released this morning. 17% drop in housing starts and we rally 9 points. LOL!
*BATS OPTIONS DECLARED SELF-HELP DUE TO UNAUTHORIZED SELLING
what's the matter folks, BTMFD, you are given a chance almost daily, in one market, if not two, spin the wheel.
Hmmmm. As I noted elsewhere, it really isn't time for the Epic Fail of Western Civ just yet. So I can't say I'm surprised at this. YMMV.
Circuit breakers sounded a bit scarry to traders. Market brakes not so much.
Bernie Madoff invented the NAZSCAM and it's still the biggest scam around!
Can you change the name of the NASDAQ to POP?
PORTAL OF PLEASURE.
A suggestion for the post apocolypse market.
Can I get the keys to moan when I push them?
If it closes green for the day, I want it to tell me I'm sexy.
NASDAQ has a new self-help book out now...
TRANS WARP DRIVE HAS FAILED!
I REPEAT
TRANSWARP DRIVE HAS FAILED (and billionaires are morons. If they don't care about Detroit why would they care about you?)
Every_single_time.
Is there any central clearing house for market breakage statistics? I really want to know how many times they break on the way up.
I can hardly wait for the crash, when it comes it's going to be a work of art!

Is it just me.. or is there something that just doesnt sound...natural about a 'self help' market?
Carlin said it best-
There is no "self help", because if you could fix it yourself, you wouldn't need help.
Beware the IDE's of March?
et tu Brute'
Zimbabwe never had Big Data algos or GS HFT gaming their markets...and they hit 24000.
So, i'd expect that since ECB QE is ongoing and DAX is UP then so will Wallstreet, with some help from Japan as well.
DOW 20000 (at least) before the final crack-up boom.
