People talk about the market being overbought and expecting a market crash, dont seem to realise that there has to be a good or bad reason for a crash.They actually mean a correction which would possibly be healthy..........but we have certain parameters that have to be met for the triggers to come into effect to prevent the market falling out of bed......where does one find these for our JSE?.......Thanx muchly in advance.........

So, you want a heads up on a crash ? Good luck with that. Anything can trigger a correction or crash.

oh,yes, there is one trigger that you can find for the JSE crash, US markets crashing "overnight"...so nothing you can do, because JSE closed!

creature you talking about limit down moves when the market gets shut after a certain downside move ?? JSE has volatility auctions that operate on individual stocks, after a certain move up or down they enter an intra-day auction process for 5 minutes

well, we did not know such a thing existed for a CRASH becos it never worked...even the NYSE circuit breakers could not halt the 600 point drop in the DOW in a couple of seconds...or the 20% slide the next morning on the JSE during Simons time. But, nice one, we were had...

Maybe watch what Garth McKenzie did buy buying options which protected him from a drop in the index. He did this in this weeks traders corner. very smartly done with minimum cost

circuit breakers only came in after the 87 crash, as a result of that crash which they blamed on computers

unless the market rallies - of course, in which case his options are out of money and he loses all the profits on his position.
