Think you were the only one who could not get within 100 feet of any liquidity in today's market which bounced up and down by 5 points on any chatic whim? Think again. The day after the market saw 844 stocks trigger short-sale restrictions (meaning they dropped more than 10% in one day), not even the robots were able to pull a rabbit out of a hat and at least 21 stocks ended up flash crashing for a millisecond or much longer during today's trading session. Below are the charts of the 21 identified victims of overzealous ask-side algos, as usual courtesy of Nanex.
