Instinet successfully completed testing on Saturday, Sept. 15th, with Nasdaq, NYSE and AMEX. The majority of our customers have been able to establish connectivity with us. If the US Equity markets re-open on Monday Sept. 17th, Instinet is ready to resume trading. If US markets reopen, Instinet will begin trading Nasdaq NMS and Small Cap stocks at 8am EDT. No orders in these stocks will be accepted on Instinet prior to 8am. US Exchange-Listed and other Nasdaq stocks will begin trading at 9:30am EDT. These times have been dictated by Nasdaq, NYSE and AMEX. Customer connectivity testing will be available from 8am EDT on Sunday, Sept. 16th. Customers may log on to the Instinet system from that time, but will not be able to place orders or trade.
