Is anyone aware of single stock flash crashes taking place on the Toronto Stock Exchange?

Who was the lucky buyer?  (or was the buyer and the seller the same?)

 

I feel like putting in a bunch of limit order (cancel after 60 days) at rock bottom prices on a bunch of stocks.  Maybe I can win the P&G at $45 lottery.

It just boggles the mind that people still sell "at the market" in these days of automated trading that causes super-waves of demand that can digest all available "at the market" shares.

 

Caveat emptor...

Maybe a better question is how mucch, by volume, does HFT account for on non-US exchanges?

That is EXACTLY what I did after the previous flash crash... I usually set a very large buy order at 35% below the current stock price.  (For TD Waterhouse the maximum you can set is 30 days)

 

Thanks,
