Welcome to computerized trading

Brainless Computerized Trading … | Riding the DAX

Have you seen the "Bund Crash" today???

How crazy and how different from times I traded on the floor.

So always take care, where you put your stops

Our head of bund trading just confirmed to me that all trades stand.
He heard it was a fat-finger trade of around 11,500 that set off stops.

Yup - my fixed income guys saying trades stand (thankfully it wasn't us). And think the total volume was higher in the end. Someone's had a cr*ppy day thats for sure.

Anyone heard who it was yet? If we can get a liquidation of various positions coming into the close could be interesting.
