dealers and buy side firms would utilize last print from consolidated tape or closing price
designated by the primary.
Question #4: If the NYSE -- or any primary listing exchange -- were unable to conduct a closing auction, how

As long as the SIP is available any market center or trading venue outage is pretty much a non-event.
Markets operated around the problem. One of the un-intended consequences of Reg NMS fragmentation.
Small [impact], had to switch risk system to composite from primary. Easy.
With high tech, glitches should be expected from time to time. Software engineering is still an art,
regardless of technological advances
If NYSE fails mid day it is not a big deal. If they do not open it is a big deal for retail as wholesale markets
makers will not all use the same process causing confusion among retail investors. If NYSE does not
have a closing cross it causes confusion for institutional flows.
For me as an enterprise architect it highlights planning issues.

NYSE has contingency plan in place for this - based on consolidated trading.
Clients are able to choose a fallback strategy in case official closing price is unavailable.
We maintain multiple closing prices, including Primary Market close, Consolidate close, and allow the
broker to choose the valuation strategy per instrument (or default for all per exchange).
