Any interesting videos from May 6?

that`s not quite as dramatic as watching the selloff, and one minute the nasdaq nq is down 95 and 4 minutes later it is down twice that at 200, i have never seen that.

I don`t know, but conceivably a trader could think that at 600 down these are once in a lifetime prices load up the entire account, they think i love this price no need for stops, and 2 minutes later their entire account is forced liquidated 400 points lower, and they are completely wiped out.
 
This was not a bug, this is a feature...

NYSE Euronext CEO Duncan Niederauer cagily blaming non-NYSE electronic markets for today's air pocket. He says NYSE was "going slow" because of market action, so trading briefly moved off-NYSE, which were too thin to handle clearing all the orders. Result: Big drops.
