"We Call Bullshit On The 'Bots Again!"

• zerohedge.com by Global Macro Monitor

First, before we get into the trade, a little background.

We have posted about our experiences of being ripped off by these "so-called" trading 'bots, who prey and stalk the markets, looking to pick-off  traders through blatant market manipulation.   Flash crash, my arse.

We put on a short position in nattie Thursday night before driving back from Sacramento to the Bay Area. We checked the market at dinner and see its down about 1 percent, we feel happy and give high fives. Then we look at the position and we have none!
