Getting a late report would not explain how a market order did not get filled. I agree things get pretty crazy in a fast market, but the cancel should have been just as delayed as the original order. Certainly, late reports do cause quite a bit of confusion though.

I had a marketable order at the CBOE sit unexecuted for hours today. It was for 10 SHX Mar 20 Puts. Other orders executed without delay. Does the market maker for SHX take a nap around that time? Maybe the the SEC needs to force the options market to play fair.

I got the execution. Apparently the CBOE was having problems. Makes me feel really warm and fuzzy. Maybe the next market crash will be caused by computer problems.
