Report on Gold Options Trading on September 28, 1999 (10771 words)
In addition, press reports alleged that on September 28 gold options floor brokers may have given preference to the execution of large orders, that thousands of small orders may have gone unexecuted, and that many retail customers were left uninformed for days of their market positions. However, on September 28 many brokers and clerks could not gather the needed clearing member and customer account information, due to the need to execute as many trades as possible and the enormous quantity of paper remaining to be processed after trading ended. On Thursday, September 30, six floor brokers with large numbers of unmatched trades from September 28 were restricted from further trading until they cleaned up their unmatched trades, and on Friday, October 1, two additional floor brokers were restricted from trading for the same reason.
