This is probably the best example of why trading with the trend is the safest bet, any contrarian trader would have had some serious losses. Wonder how many margin calls we had in this room alone.
Exactly. Took me a while, but I learned. It's gonna be volatile like you said so I'll be waiting for a candle that follows big pa moves, if I do anything at all.

CNBC Report: Citi is rumored to have made the mistake.

Hi Cloggie, What timeframe are you going to be trading in ie. 15min, 30min, just wondering what candle close do you wait for to confirm trend? Thanks

It's all over reports. Citi just told cnbc that they're "looking into the situation."

The Dow plunged nearly 1,000 points before paring those losses, apparently triggered by a trader error. Sources told CNBC a trader entered a "b" for billion instead of an "m" for million in a trade possibly involving Procter & Gamble.

According to multiple sources, a trader entered a "b" for billion instead of an "m" for million in a trade possibly involving Procter & Gamble [PG 60.75 -1.41 (-2.27%) ], a component in the Dow. (CNBC's Jim Cramer noted suspicious price movement in P&G stock on air during the height of the market selloff. Watch.)

Sources tell CNBC the firm in question that handled the erroneous trade is Citigroup [C 4.04 -0.14 (-3.35%) ]. The bank said it has no evidence of a bad trade but is investigating the situation

The massive selloff, which began shortly after 2 pm ET, amplified concerns about the spreading European debt crisis as the approval of austerity measures by the Greek Parliament sparked renewed rioting in Athens.

"There is simply a growing recognition that Greece has got to default," banking analyst Dick Bove told CNBC.com. "The riots in the streets showed the decision to repay the debt was not going to be made by the people in Germany, France and Switzerland—it's going to be made by people in Greece and they're not going to repay it."

THIS is why you must ALWAYS put a STOP LOSS on a position. Imagine putting a GBP1 trade on, and a few minutes later finding yourself a grand down. ouch. Google lost 6000 points!

I find this highly suspicious. The night of the UK general election, with all the Greek fears etc. Something fishy about this. Some high up people made some mega money earlier.
