RE: S & P Question

My broker here has been running 'not held' for over a week for S&P pit trades.
Does this happen often.   I can understand it if fast market is set.
It basically means I cant trade S&P if I cant guarantee a fill on my stop-loss orders.

Because due to market conditions many brokers since days declare price limit 
orders outside halfs (0.50) and evens (1.00) ""NOT HELD"" !

Because due to market conditions many brokers since days declare ALL NON 
MARKET ORDERS ""NOT HELD"" !

If you trade 5lots in NUTS-markets like this you should know that !
