Описание: How Did Program Trading Cause The 1987 Black Monday Crash? Have you ever wondered how technology can influence financial markets and lead to major events? In this video, we’ll explain the role of program trading and its impact on the stock market crash of 1987, known as Black Monday. We’ll start by defining what program trading is and how it involves using computers to buy and sell large groups of stocks simultaneously. You’ll learn how this new method replaced traditional trading floors and introduced automated systems that followed specific rules, such as portfolio insurance strategies. We’ll discuss how these computer-driven trades can accelerate market declines by triggering automatic sales during falling prices, creating a feedback loop that magnifies downward momentum. You’ll also discover how the rapid execution of large basket trades in seconds contributed to the extreme volatility and sharp decline in stock prices that day. Additionally, we’ll explain how the use of automated selling strategies increased market panic and made it difficult for buyers to stabilize prices. This event marked a turning point in the influence of technology on financial markets and led to regulatory changes to prevent similar crashes in the future.
