And The Market Breaks (Again)...
With VIX having collapsed earlier (and its term structure inverted) ahead of this week's OPEX, as risk started to increase, BATS &NYSE just declared self-help against the CBOE...
- *BATS ROUTING TO CHICAGO BOARD SUSPENDED
- *NYSE AMEX OPTIONS HAS DECLARED SELF-HELP AGAINST CBOE
As soon as VIX started to rise... the market broke
"Broken Markets" - the new rigging.

we self-helped some folks
We are SO closing dark green today!
That's what happens when you "self-pleasure" while driving (e)minis.
ZH might break soon too.
Help yourselves folks.
'Glitches' are for 'bitches'
the "market" hahahhahahaha hahahahaha you made a funny more "glitches"?
Something big is going on with the internet. Me and a fair few of my mates mobile & home internet has gone to shit, my works previously stable web systems have been up and down like a yoyo recently and I don't even need to mention all the market breaks as well as what happened last week.
Its the damn Ruskies and the antichrist Putin, Nuke the Commies!!!
When BATS and NYSE declare self-help against CBOE does that mean the CBOE is broken, or that BATS and NYSE are broken?
Yes...
Means CBOE's broken, but I'll never get as many up-votes as Knuckle Dragger's response.
Just a minor oopsie and things are just shiny, so move along, nothing to see here......
It's my ball and I'm going home!
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Yet, it still stinks.
I still don't know what "self help" means for these exchanges!
Me neither. To what are they helping themselves? And, does it mean that everyone has refused them help?
And, who are they and what did they break, exactly?
Could Tylers please stand up? This is a teachable moment.
Thx.
Self Help. Exchanges can declare “self help” against each other to opt out of the national market system when a technical problem arises. This means that they will stop routing trades to and from another market if they have reason to believe the quotes or prices are stale. It is meant to protect investors from having trades executed at bad prices.

Thank you Zippy. Not nearly as insane as I had imagined. Guess I am getting jaded, eh?
Everything has to be insane. But this sounds quite reasonable,
That's what they call it when they 'accidentally' trip over the cord and pull the plug.
Fat toe
The old rigging...William could probably do something here:

"break"
Right. It's not breaking when someone pulls the plug when thngs go in the wrong direction.
Self help means that all of the brokers and algos stop for a circle jerk when the stress level rises.
.........just answer the g**damn question........what does it mean when "self-help" is declared ? what is that ? is your wife gone or something ? what or who triggers this thing ????
Plenty of Mr. Rogers
Funny, it seems to break every time the central bank stops buying. . . Hmmm.
gold smackdown coming in 3 -2- 1----
Yellens overvalued IBB new ATH LOL
I wish I had a self help button. I'd be a billionaire.
