Contingency Trading Exercise now Scheduled for 10/25/08

31 Jul 2008

The NYSE is postponing the previously announced industry wide contingency trading test, which was originally planned for August 9, 2008. This was to be a comprehensive test, allowing participants to test all components of continency trading, however we determined that many firms were not yet ready to do this by the original test date. To allow firms more time to prepare, the August 9th contingency exercise will be delayed until October 25th. Details about this test will be sent out about a month prior to the test.
