10 facts on the flash crash in stocks today
http://profit.ndtv.com/News/Article/10-facts-on-the-flash-crash-in-stocks-today-302469
Traders said it appeared to be a case of a dealer looking to sell both Nifty futures and Infosys futures in the National Stock Exchange (NSE), citing an examination of the unusual price and volume action. However, while inputting the trade, the dealer is believed to have neglected to put in the selling price, according to these traders. That meant futures for both trades were sold at the best available selling prices at that time when the order book was shallow.
Considering the volume needed to drive it down that much, this has to be one of the best weekend jokes so far. :p :D
It has only exposed just how many buyers there really are ............

Please to note :-
1. That Infy Futs low was not simultaneous with the NF lows. Infy low was visible pretty early in the morning.
2. The sell was for approx 17.6 L contracts and i'm sure that is huge and not shallow.
The exercise has taken off all stops of longs and executed a lot of stop shorts.

Its 35200 contracts buddy, multiplied by 50. 17 lakh contracts in 4 seconds would take nifty down to circuit many times over if permitted.

hi SM,

does a stop short mean a short trade executed just when a long trade's stop loss is executed..? is such an option available in any of the softwares brokers provide us or is it something only the big guys have..?

This means going short if a particular price is reached. This is simple.....you can put a stoploss order of double the quantity of your long position. if you want A Stop And Reverse action.....or you can put a stoploss order with lower trigger price and protection....like any stoploss order so your long positions will be sold at a particular price and short trade opened at a lower predetermined price. It is available in all the front end terminals....
