Just a heads up that if you were trading SDS this morning, the Amex conveniently had a 1 hour computer glitch and may have impacted your fills...as it did mine...Good trading MDW

Some glitch! I tried to sell MDY on the open as a market order and never got filled because AMEX wasn't open, according to Fidelity! Finally got filled after the Dow was down 200 points when AMEX opened.. Amazing that over 4 million shares of MDY had traded when AMEX was closed and Fido couldn't trade it anywhere BUT AMEX. I feel screwed.

I had the same problem selling my XLF calls. By the time they opened, XLF was down from 35.2 to 34.5.
