International markets traders banter

Some big moves in equities overnight, interesting theory about the reason behind some of the selling:

"There is some chatter about a large sell program that was triggered today when the dividend yield on the S&P 500 matched the yield of the 10-year Treasury note."

It got smashed 10 min after the initial PMI drop with about 2500 contracts in a min. I was pretty short but it was going so fast and my orders to add where SO slow into the market I got spooked and in stead of adding to full size + some I covered.....

To then have the pleasure to watch it drop another 200 points........

If i was smart it should have been the easiest day to make money of the year. Really need to work on my trend trading. F me, it must have turned at the 50% retracement level about 40 times on the way down, what was i thinking...

Edit: Nikkei biggest 1 day percentage fall in 2 years (easiest day to make money in 2 years?)
Edit 2: i think usd/yen about to reach 0

Yeah, sometimes you get so wrapped up in the now you forget to think "which way is the market going, and how good a job is it doing trying to go there?"
