Black Swan Events
During black swan events, markets can experience extreme volatility, including significant slippage, widened spreads, and erratic price movements across asset classes. These conditions may result in unrealistic fills and substantial losses, even for experienced traders
While these events may not fall under typical “news rule” breaches, spontaneous announcements and economic shocks can lead to trades being voided due to market irregularities.
