>What are the odds of a flash crash

Barely more than zero because there are market circuit breakers now and broker dealers are supposed to be limiting order flow so that HFTs can't be submitting huge numbers of orders that are massively far away from what the security is trading at. Of course some broker dealers play much faster and looser than others but if shit really hits the fan the circuit breaker catches it.
