Knight Capital trading-system failure
A software deployment and management-control failure at Knight Capital caused erroneous orders and an approximately $460 million loss during one trading day. Although the event predates KCG's formation, it directly shaped the Knight-GETCO merger that created KCG and became a prominent example of the operational risks of automated trading.
