Traders are searching for clues as to the source of the panic that has consumed the market in the last hour. Some speculate it was a mis-laid order distorting the major averages, tripping off massive index futures sales. Procter and Gable is the focus of the talk, falling from something like $62 to $47 in a flash…that would have thrown all the averages into a tailspin…
We’re recouping some of that lost ground but there will be billions in realized losses from those caught in the crossfire.
EUR/USD is back up to 1.2610, S&Ps are down 42 points or 3.6%…we were down over 8% at the worst.

This I had most of, I have had a good education thanks to some here at FF... TP, SL and I've already filed an audit report with broker... TKS...
Man ... brokers are going to be swamped with those audit reports. Escpecially large brokers like FXCM.

I'm glad I never have any problems from my broker (GFT) but that doesn[t determine me from taking precaution.

I hope your right!!!
Of course, I have total confidence in my analyst and my own personal insight into the market. Have I ever told FF users and twitter users wrong.

Check my past post with charts ... they'll speak for themselves. I haven't been in the game for a long time for nothing.

Need a close below 1.2579 to see a new bottom else might retrace to 2729.

Retrace looks very unlikely to that level, maybe 1.267-9 will cap it.

And when your broker platform dies, I hope traders are taking precaution such as using limit and stop orders for entries/exits/take profits/equity protection. In addition to having writing all your order down so that you can CALL your broker concerning that position when the platform dies.
Last months on the 28th I placed 2 live orders buy Eur/usd @ 1.3229 both set to Stop Loss at 1.3229 then I tried to close them at 1.3257 The platform disconnected for about an hour. When It came back it showed both my orders stopped out at 1.3229 but they are -23 pips profit deducted from my account. I asked them to look into this ten days ago and I've heard nothing. AVAFX And all transaction history since last deposit is missing from my account history? Now they might be in the process of sorting this out, but I am not happy. haven't even received an explanation or any word as yet.

Yeah, that is a good one.

But, is to say, mother bear has left some offspring.

(VIX at +59%)

(The comparison with Lehman and Greece is very opposing since there is bail-out ready whiles the other got bankrupt.)
Being right is one, taking it from the table is two.
