The market volatility on October 10th was obviously not a so-called "software glitch," but a flash crash in a highly leveraged market triggered by macro news on a low-liquidity Friday evening.

While finding a scapegoat is easy, blaming a single trading platform is not honest from a cognitive perspective.
