Tuesday, October 30, 2012, 6:15 PM Update on market plans: Stock, bond and derivatives markets will open as normal Wednesday. NYSE (NYX) reports its "building and systems" are undamaged - and a solid opening there will be vital to other electronic systems. The combination of month's end and pent-up trading demand promises a hectic day - and looking further out, maybe a jolt from complacency.

Tuesday, October 30, 2012, 11:11 AM The NYSE (NYX) says it's currently expecting to open Wednesday, critical because of its role in providing key opening and closing auctions on the last day of the month. The goal: a normal 9:30-4:00 trading session. The exchange, along with Nasdaq OMX (NDAQ), BATS and Direct Edge, continues to test a backup solution that would route trading through the Arca platform if the floor can't open. 8 Comments [Financials, U.S. Economy]
Friday, March 30, 2012, 3:39 AM BATS is thinking about suspending its efforts to recruit corporate listings after last Friday's trading glitch and IPO fiasco, sources say.

Tuesday, March 27, 2012, 1:33 PM Following BATS's (BATS) "horrible, ruinous Murphy’s Law-abiding fiasco" of a public offering, DealBook provides some other gems from the "IPO hall of shame."

Friday, March 23, 2012, 4:04 PM BATS officially withdraws its IPO, citing "technical issues" that affected trading in its shares and others.

Friday, March 23, 2012, 1:53 PM A bad day for BATS keeps getting worse. Trading in its IPO has been delayed once again; BATS, which is launching the IPO on its own exchange, blames the hold-up on a "system overload." (also) 1 Comment [Financials, On the Move]
Friday, March 23, 2012, 12:52 PM BATS is having a pretty bad PR day. After a trade on its exchange triggered a flash crash in Apple, the company temporarily halted all trading in symbols ranging from A-BFZZZ. Meanwhile, BATS' own IPO was halted after seeing (cancelled) trades go down at a price of $.04, and is now scheduled to occur at 1:20PM ET. 2 Comments [Financials, On the Move]
Friday, March 23, 2012, 11:24 AM One trade of 100 shares at $542.80 coming from the BATS exchange is being blamed for the flash crash in Apple (AAPL) earlier. It's bad luck (or a brilliant publicity stunt) for BATS which opens for trading today after its IPO. 13 Comments [Tech]
