Please review the revised schedules for the Good Friday holiday.

April 1, 2010

Dear Customer,

Please review the revised schedules for the Good Friday holiday. Any time there is a revised trading schedule, we recommend you follow these guidelines:

Do not leave orders working after the session. These orders will carry over to the next session, regardless of whether or not they appear on your trading screen.

Do not log in to place trades after the market has halted (closed). There is a high probability that you will not receive a response from the trade server that the orders were placed, however they will likely be sitting at the exchange waiting to go in when the servers re-open.

The session trading halt is not a true market close. This means that you will be able to log in. However, we do not recommend that you place or revise orders during this time.

If you placed an order and you did not cancel it, yet do not see it in your system, you must call the support desk to determine the order status. It is extremely important that you do not assume the order was cancelled.

Please feel free to contact our office directly with any questions or concerns you may have regarding the holiday trading schedule. We are here to assist you.
