Quote from ScalpGuy:
Did you understand that I am talking about allmost 200 tick move within A ONE MINUTE. It happened very fast.
I didnt find anything like this while I checked last 18 mo. But I did a program guite fast so I hope there was no bug in it
You didn't say within one minute. That's quite a move but then it was out of hours for the DAX so the lack of liquidity would have contributed to it.
yeah, that was on expiry of the June contract, Ftse did the same when it went off just prior to that.
