Who are the multimillionaires left whole.....?? Please tell.

Agreed

Thanks sky for the info. I agree that it's difficult AND dangerous to achieve true hands-off autotrading. However, how about a general all-inclsive "fail-safe" to protect yoou for the unforseen glitches For example, if open position size is greater than X then exit and shut off and...

sKY....What exactly was this rare circumstance that trigerred this event??

Only Mr. Ruggiero knows how much money he has spent. However that is not the issue. Also note that developing a true real-time software is a very complex endeavor. Even an EOD platform is very complex. Some vendors may do things in a very ad hoc (and incorrect manner) – but my experience...
