There are a couple economic data releases for April that could theoretically trigger a sell-off, I don't think any of them are terribly likely to do so but 5% seems fair to me.

@SaviorofPlant since circuit breakers were introduced in 1987 they have been triggered they have been triggered exactly 5 times (4 in march 2020) across about 10,000 trading sessions or 0.05% of days

given the data released are already priced in 5% seems about 20x too high to me

I think the growing insider trading scandal linked to the US executive branch is having a very significant destabilising effect on US markets.

I want someone to give me praise (in writing) about my clean exit from this market

@TimothyBandors That was a vary clean exit. You deserve praise

@TimothyBandors clean exit, well done.

1% left to go…

This going to be a hard time for a lot of people

I'll take my 2.5k profit and walk, down 5% already this morning :o

We are half way to a circuit breaker today. Historically some of the biggest losses have come just after some of the biggest gains.

if the market keeps falling at this rate, we will definitely his a circuit breaker today.

@NathanDickson I'm really surprised the VIX hasn't hit a record high yet.

Might fuck around and double down again 🤪

First breaker is at 7% loss within a day, for those who don't know.

I could see a future that it hits a breaker in the last 15 minutes of trading today

if it did, it would force everyone to take there positions over the weekend. Be advised

Currently at -5.37% that is awfully close
