Re: ASX In Trading Halt

its probably purely technical issues
last time when nikkei was on halt was because of the massive trading volume. I dont think today's volume was that big.

like powerkoala said, lets all take a break....

Re: ASX In Trading Halt

I use national online trading and saw the press release that I posted in this thread. It says they will keep us posted on further updates and I have been keeping an eye on it. As soon as they post something else I'll let you know. It does seem a bit dodgy. Even on my "Trading Pro" screen everything is still showing as open. Then again if there is an actual technical fault I guess it would have trouble letting all the computers down the line know that the market is no longer open...

Try punching in the psuedonyms of each stock and you will see when the market stalled ( that's if you trade online).Just had it confirmed some ten minutes ago by a broker I know personally. Apparently its a technical issue ????????

Re: ASX In Trading Halt

Comsec has a line in its ad banner area saying that ASX is in SEATS Adjust Phase.

Dunno for sure that it's not an ad, and I looked up Adjust Phase on ASX and found info only for the post close. But if the line is real information, it sort of confirms the possibility of technical problems.

No news on any news site I've tried so far. Anyone know anything more? Must admit this sort of thing makes me nervous, even though I only have one buy order in the market and no intention of selling anything.

Re: ASX In Trading Halt

Just curious, what happens with the SPI? I suppose it is still operating not being part of the asx but has trade dried up until the market re-opens?

Re: ASX In Trading Halt

That is what I saw from my Westpac broking account

ASX SEATS Issue

The ASX have advised that SEATS is currently in Adjust pending further notification. They are addressing a matter regarding amending and cancelling orders. Unfortunately, as a result of this issue no orders can be placed, amended or cancelled.

Westpac Broking will advise once further updates are received by the ASX.

Re: ASX In Trading Halt

ASX haven't even mentioned it on their website! That is not exactly professional, is it!

I wonder if they have to issue themselves with a 'please explain' notice! :swear:

Re: ASX In Trading Halt

In E*Trade they keep pumping out the ASX announcements, yet no announcement on the ASX halting trading.

Maybe the announcement person should move into I.T. ?
