Monk, Hope you are right... However it helps to hold a little bit of doubt. Traders loose the most when they hold absolute certanity in the market. When the market is not going their way, its easy to rationalise. However if a trader is holding views based on the charts, that's fine as there is safeguard in form of stop loss levels.
Trading on National Stock Exchange (NSE) was halted for around 15 minutes on Friday morning as freak trades triggered a 15 percent drop in the index .
The exchange said it was investigating what it called abnormal orders resulting in multiple trades at low prices.
The NSE index, widely known as the Nifty, suddenly dropped by around 920 points to a session low of 4,888.20 points - 15.5 percent below its closing level on Thursday.
There was a freak trade in the cash segment which hit the circuit filter. However, the futures and options segment has not been affected, a source at the exchange told Reuters. As a result, markets stopped but trading was resumed soon after.
NSE futures and options markets traded as normal throughout, while trading on India's BSE index was also uninterrupted
Correction will come, rather sooner than later and it will be a big as well as surprising and unexpected for many and this is bcoz of the spiral upmove that Nifty (indeed world mkts) is in rite now. Such Big moves are often executed to weed out people with less capital, so that when actual downmove occurs they shud not be able to catch it.

I believe if u are a good trader, there shouldnt be any sort of doubt in the mind, although he should be alert .What i believe is markets will not only erase todays losses but will hit new high on monday itself.
