Knight Capital made deployment rollback a market-control accountability test
Knight Capital Group is a risk and accountability case because the August 2012 trading incident showed how a software deployment failure can become a market-control failure when release management, dormant-code removal, pre-trade risk limits, real-time supervision, and kill-switch authority are not strong enough for the speed of automated trading.
