What do you mean? There was a liquidity crunch because of a massive mutual fund order and his spoofing tripped the algos into selling

OP's article is quite good.

It's more likely that there were several factors in play, including Wadell & Reed.

But if the market practices weren't so flawed with HFTs, none of that would have caused what happened.

Yeah, as it says it's like blaming lightning for starting a forest far.

The current dark pool stuff is probably ten times worse.
