August 5, 2011 the Stock markets were 'broken,' and looking back at the data, it very likely may have to do with HFT or High Frequency Trading algorithm robots. As you can see from the graph volume, the past year it appears the stock market has been taken over by automated trading algorithms . If "day trading" is 5-10 traders per day, then HFT is 100's of traders per minute, computer controlled.
