In case anyone is unsure, or hasn't notice the change in times, here are the new rules relating to suspension times for the indices markets as posted on the notice board.

Indices rule change - Indices questions will be suspended one hour before the markets close. The only exception will be those questions that relate to the numerical state of a market, such as the poker hand and tens digits questions.

What happens when the market is not trading properly, like today? The currently quoted FTSE has not moved for several hours because the trading systems are in meltdown.

The question simply asks if the FTSE will close up, so wherever it is when trading is halted will be where it closes...must be a nightmare for real money traders!

Will settle this shortly...here's some news though

<<London Stock Exchange Group Plc, operator of the world's fourth-largest market, broke down on the busiest morning for European equities in nine months, hurting clients who trade an average $17.5 billion a day.

Trading resumed at 4 p.m. after an earlier computer failure left clients unable to buy or sell shares for about seven hours, according to the LSE's Web site.

``Many traders will feel morally cheated that they have been unable to conduct their business in response to today's financial news,'' said David Buik, a London-based market analyst at BGC Partners. ``The fact that it happened beggars belief.''
