I have been watching this closely. A very light-weight theory, but this automatic trading seems to over react. Dumping of FTSE 100 and 250 stocks on bad, but not fundamentally disastrous, news means nice little, relatively safe, earners over the next six months. Not multi baggers or anything, but certainly good returns. BP in 2010 and Tesco late 2011 come to mind.

What sort of length of time do you trade over? SantaClaus day terades and so avoids equity markets as they are too easy to rig.

If I am mistaken we have seen quite a few incidents where auto trading has caused a total mare through dumping stock

So fund managers will be replaced by programmers, and programmers are replaced by Bobs.

Therefore, lets cut out the middle man and hand our pensions to Bob now.

Another good reason to avoid pensions.

According to sas programmers are just typists so no need to worry. Or maybe we should just give our money to sas.

Sssshhhhhhhh

And lots not forget LTCM in 1998 where the computer models did not appreciate what was happening in the market.

I think this was what I was referring too first and then there was one at Goldmans the other month were the guys patched the code and blew the trade engine to bits.
