17:20 Ayr - fat fingers???

[JollyGreen]

Did anyone else see that crazy move on Blue Charm? I had traded the drift and was just scalping the top of the price when suddenly the market went mental. There was a spike and the price shot out to over 60.

The horse nearly got up to win so whoever made that mistake must surely have had a squeaky bum moment!!

I got absolutely spanked on this one! Proper day ruiner!! Time to start again from scratch!!

I guess you were taking a back position at the top of the price? I had stolen a couple of ticks like that but thankfully I was laying it when "fat fingers" did his thing!

Sorry...I also noticed that I posted this and 1 minute later it appeared in the "fat fingers" thread.

yeh no worries though. Its been a bit of a funny day the last hour or so the markets seem to not have a clue what they want to do

It's a cross matching issue, because somebody (something) backed in a big price to stupid money it sent everything else in the other direction. Pain in butt and wouldn't have happened before xm.

On flip side I had some keep bets on another account intended to catch some prices in running and they all matched before the off for the first time ever!
