Yes, but the volume on the DAX "goes to eleven"...
Probability of an emini S&P move to 2120 just went up 60%
yes--to but it goes to 11
50 pts on a 12,000 index.......please zzzzzz
DAX is sitting right on support line:

The DAX is at 12000. Mortgages have negative interest rates, as do savings accounts. The world is coming to an end.
"Fiat money is coming to an end." - fixed it for you.
Not end, cease to exist, along with the system's creating it.....
Please stop calling a 50 points drop in the Dax as a 'flash crash': it makes ZH look desperate for a silly headline and will be laughed at by most traders the world over.
If that was a flash crash, I dare not think what you will have to call the next 1000 points drop in the Dow...
"epic" is what I'm thinking.
Massive...
Stunning.
Don't for get Stunning.
A cunning stunt...
In wide screen and Technicolor.....
I am sick of these posts from you fucking assholes that know SHIT about trading and the market.
If you are, you know, and ACTUAL TRADER a 50 point move in such a short time is fucking HUGE FUCKING DEAL, if you are trading futures it is an EVEN BIGGER DEAL.
If you are on the right side of the trade you've made your week, wrong side your ass was ripped out.
So fucking learning something about trading I am sick of stupid commentaty from assholes like you.
No risk no reward you stupid fuck. Personally, I wouldn't have it any other way. Fucking pussy.
Gee, if it's that sensitive and catastrophic are you being wiped out by concentrating on this thread rather than having your finger on speed dial to the brokerage? I'm miserable enough worrying about my straight stock and bond investments and I would have a heart attack if I traded as you do. Good luck.
If you're still "trading" you deserve whatever you get.
The only way to win is not to play....
Quite clearly you (Peak Finance or should it be Bottom Finance lol?) are in need of some MM lessons (that's Money Management, the most important part of trading but a part that you have obviously never contemplated).
If a 50 points move is a "huge fucking deal" and "your ass was ripped out" then I suggest that you need to look at your leverage as it is quite clearly too high and you should leave futures trading alone.
Everything you say sounds like it's coming out of the mouth of a newbie trader who has blown his 1st trading account (or 2nd or 3rd....) and is now blaming everybody else but himself.
I guess you should start here and learn the basics:

Wow the hate here over my stupid post! LOL!
I am just saying that a 50 point move in a short term in futures is a big deal, and, something that clearly a lot of people want to know, or they would not bother reporting it! Even if you are not in the market these wobbles on no news demostrates how broken everything is. So, The posts critical to this "news" that I see over and over is what I can't really understand.
I also said before in old posts that I do a little day trading and swing trading with "play" money that I can afford to lose. No, I don't trust the market. No, I am not going to whine and cry if I get crushed. I enjoy doing a little trading on the side and have been in and out of the market for years now. The bulk of my assets is in physical.
in the new normal isn't this bullish for the DAX?
their ppt guy had to take a shit and couldnt wait an extra 15 minutes.
The in the knows got the tap on the shoulder to sell everything because of something major Greek related.
But honestly you are talking about 50 points. What used to be a big move is now seen as a tiny imperceptible blip when the markets move up and down hundreds of points every few minutes.
"lunch not launch!"
Was there only calm breathing on the tape?
"For God's sakes, open the door"
they know ! bund new high ....
I had an old Dodge with a flaky ignition that would sometimes do that. Turns out the condenser in the old points-style distributor would intermittently ground out when it got hot. Replaced, ran fine after that.
Maybe the market needs a new condenser. (And that, ladies and gents, is why people always make quotation marks in the air with their fingers when they call me a "genius".)
+100 he he heeeeee. that there is some funny shit right there.
SD: A lot moar of em would be doing finger quotes if only they knew what a condenser was.
Yeah!! In those days we could do our own tune ups and even set the timing with a strobe and rotation of the distributor cap. Today, they have to hook up a Star Wars analyzer to tell us that a Spotted Al Gore required gadget is on the blink. Another Benjamin transferred from me to the dealership is the net of the crap. Meanwhile, there are more GMs on recall than autos they sold the past year.
If this qualifies as a "crash"...just wait until a the real thing comes...what do we call that?
Good riddance?
how can we call these "crashes" anymore when they are now just normal algo-robot patterns - the 'new normal', right ?
Crashes back to a few hours ago levels, oh no!
It is kind of funny though seeing just how fake everything actually is.
wow the definition of a flash crash has changed since May 2010, tyler's panties got in a bunch over 50 pts. in the Dax... lol
Forgot to refill the Viagra script!
Looks more like he US going down and taking the DAX with it.
Where did all the comments go....is this the end of ZH as we know it?
Nothing wrong, continue. - Web Administrator Hilary
maybe its all been said.
Roubini just went bullish.
"Flash Crash" term being used way, way too liberally these days.
Pfffft. Childs play.
I'm somehow channeling Crocodile Dundee right now:
"That's not a crash..."
Now that's a crock.
selloff will last 10 minutes
Yes son, I saw the dax above 12000.
Wow! based on what dad?
Is it Germany building 100 new Leopard tanks?
Didn't that cause them some trouble last time?
i love these plummeting charts, then you enlarge it to look at the scale and realise its nothing.
Ass crack chick effect?
Sell! sell! sell!...buy! buy! buy!....oh!....time to get a job/life.
Whew....well at least banks remain unscathed by it all.
Plunge? Guys, come on and stop the bullshit. I know more clicks equals more money but stick to real story's that no one else reports on or real market insights and the clicks will come. Don't stoop to this clickbait shit.
80 points..you must be board Tyler? everyday same shit...different index
"drags US stocks lower"
Like a bad Snickers commercial, "not going anywhere for awhile"?
there are 2 certainties in life:
1. Zerohedge does great research and I always find the information useful and informative.
2. Zerohedge has probably the worst market predictive track record of any website I read. If there was an inverse ZH ETF we could all buy it and retire in a year.
The key is knowing what ZH is good for and what's it's not good for.
News Eh !!!!!!!!!!
Using in your face ' facts ' and NOT MSM feed 'em ' fiction ' the spreadsheets in front of me drawn on the previous 3+ years of business with the Top 5 German SME's ( who are spread across the country ) clearly show Prices have dropped on average 8%, 6.5%, 7%, 9% and 4.5% respectively; GREAT NEWS for ME ( being able to lower my add-on's to clients in developing market's with a knock on of increasing sales ) & i expect a LOT of Chinese Companies/ Others.
Furthermore being an important client engaging the top tier of said companies who have divulged that Export Sales in total have Fallen between 8-14% over the aforementioned period.
Germany is in FREE- FALL and amid the chaos i'll be looking forward to even better margins at the cost to the sick EU.
What worries me slightly is that when the shit hits the fan and the natives get restless, blocking my sea and road transport routes WHO IS GONNA COMPENSATE ME? 'cause i ain't accepting ANY credit notes or the like from them bankrupt German Banks.
but Drahgi said QE is working.....
/sarc
4/10 of a percent is now a flash crash? Nigga pleez
The Germans said they were getting ready for the Greek default...
Negative yields says crazy long equities.
37-38 sounds about right to me.
Look at the Nikkei after it collapsed.
No European headlines???
Didn't Draghi get attacked by a girl this morning??
Let's say you are a large fund manager and you are selling all your DAX positions, and maybe selling all your bunds while you are at it. Where do you put your money? Euros? Yen? I think not. Capital always finds a home.
The DAX was UP 0.03% today.

Now, that's a flash-crash?
You call 0.5% a crash? WTF?
