About the Freak trade triggering the stop losses....
After looking at all the posts, firstly let me clear the confusion out which some of you seem to have...
1. Mininifty did trade at 3500, but none of the Zerodha client actually bought or sold mininifty at that price... Even the trade that got executed at 3500, was later reversed by the exchange...
2. The problem was, because it ticked at 3500, it triggered a lot of Stop losses placed in the system... Even if it was not 3500 and it was 5000, it would have still triggered all the stops...
What do I think about it??
These are the risks we take trading financial markets and we have to live with it. No complain to anyone will help. Markets move based on the balance of buyers and sellers. If someone decides to sell a million lots of nifty futures, he might bring it down by 10% for a few minutes... WE can't tell this guy who wants to sell not to sell...
Remember guys, the ticker is always right... If a price was recorded on the tape, no one can fight it... We just have to get used to the fact that, **** Happens !!! and move on....
