HN was down earlier today too, or at least timing out on my end. never saw that before.

that happens to me quite a bit. nginx gateway errors are pretty common on HN in my experience

Cloudflare Chicago?

This isn't much of an issue for traders That's a nice benefit of having 40+ trading venues in the US. They had problems at the open as well with connectivity on one of their gateways. Issues like this crop up all the time and most of the time they are resolved before the open. The good news is that they aren't reporting any lost trades or trade busts yet so this isn't as bad as the BATS open at BATS:) Having said tha…

right. one trading head just noted that it's a "non-issue." the timing is interesting, though. it's midday so there's lighter volume. big problem is going to be with index calculation. other exchanges are functioning just fine and other venues are seeing plenty of action and stability.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Are there serious trading shops that don't route orders dynamically to multiple venues?

interesting question and i'm not familiar with the rumors. is it that the shanghai index crash is synthesized? not being completely fluent in the financial sector, how would this be achieved?

Financial markets can be manipulated provided you have the right keys. At this point in time, this is just a wild conspiracy theory and it's explained as retaliation for all the cyber attacks allegedly carried out by the Chinese govt or people affiliated with it.

There's plenty of reason to believe China was in a bubble long before these last couple of weeks, and if you don't like somebody and want to do them the maximum damage, you want to help inflate the bubble, not pop it. (Well, at least, if you have a rational view of how markets work.)

Pretty bad timing, markets are already rattled because of China: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-07-08/u-s-index-... Regardless of the technical cause have a feeling this will make things worse and people more nervous.

The technical glitch is probably related to China news somehow, but it is rather meaningless for trading in general. NYSE has pretty antiquated technology compared to other exchanges.

I interviewed at the NYSE a few years ago. Everyone was Indian.

Wow, the first racist comment I've read on HN. Must be because reddit kicked you out.

Racial comments are blaming statements. I've read plenty of those on here over the years. Here's another example of fsk making a blaming statement which isn't racial in origin:

> You have to be on Facebook if all your friends are on Facebook.

Given I canceled my Facebook account in 2010, shortly after I was front and center in the news about tech addiction, I can definitively say that I don't have to be on Facebook. I also can say I can't speak for you on that matter, zabcik, or YOU, all you wonderful HN peeps. That's up to you guys to decide for yourselves!

I was considering the impact a 'blaming statement' button next to each comment might have on the site. It possibly could help curate and educate the posters on here about the negative impact they have on conversation and trust. Sometimes the backlash to a blaming statement is worse than the statement itself.

BTW, I get the sense (observation) from fsk's comments that he/she might be having a bit of trouble with their career, which might be why such a statement is being made. If so, I hear you fsk (I'm a 48 year old programmer/evangelist myself). Just remember you can't blame others for your own feelings! :)

wsj goes down, nyse goes down due to technical glitch. seems like a crazy coincidence or some very large state who have a track record of infiltrating and disrupting America electronically at a time when the leaders of that state is feeling the heat and need to stop speculators.
