An Arb trade?


What were they trying to accomplish here, like a spread trade? Long the equities, which i assume were lagging and short the ETFs and the Index futs...?

In the process they spiked all three?

Think their buy order was probably a magnitude or two bigger than expected, and the REAL arb bots had a field day.

Just heard on the TTN squawk that there was a bond error on todays trading...
 
I know this isn't the right spot to post this, but couldn't figure where else to put it

"We are happy to announce the certification of the MetaTrader 5 trading platform by Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). "

source http://www.metaquotes.net/en/metatrader5/news/4025

Never seen an announcement like this, does asx do this for other platforms? what exactly does it mean?
 
Asia sold off nicely today...wow
 
Not sure what the catylst was, but the K200 and the Seng topped out and sold off pretty quick...got a nice video of it all, the rollover on both.
 
Again....

I believe some economies in emerging markets and frontier markets would prove resilient. Current sell off in some emerging markets create great mid and long term opportunities. Companies with strong local demand, export companies with permanent customer base and consumer staples sector in emerging world will become great winners in the future. They will earn in good times and bad times. Cyclical sectors will under-perform in the short run. As a result of slow down in some emerging markets commodity producing countries too will have some slow down in the short run.
,
We cannot ignore the strong and attractive longer term demographic and growth profile of most emerging markets, especially in Asia.

Those markets which had great rally can have correction one by one and those markets which under-performed during last couple of years will outperform others in the coming quarters. Some markets are building their base now. It is time to identify next bullish sectors, commodities, currencies and markets before others.

I bet those that bought a "bargain" after the 600pt fall are being forced out right now.

Edit: Looks like cap vol low now?
