Very orderly, however there are no downticks so this was probably an
instance where bunched stop loss orders to cover shorts (buy) were
distributed across resting sell orders which still made for pretty decent
slippage. The big difference is that the matching was done mechanically
rather than in pit pandemonium and anyone who had resting orders was filled
first in first out at same price - can still mean 15 points in this kind of
market.

It is precisely this kind of situation which can really hurt the trader
whose stops are not already resting on the globex computers because they are
coming in as high limit orders at the tail end of the queue.
