Quote from S2007S:
Thats all it is, volume from individual investors has dried up, its the computers doing all the trading with much front running going on, the bots win 99.9% of the time. May 6th, 2010 was just a simple example what happens when algorithmic trading takes place.
And when the hft computers get the "stop" command, down the shi*ter the markets go.:eek:
