How Frustrating....

Don't you just hate it when you miss a move for something that could of been prevented....

This morning when I came to my computer I checked my charts and my broker InterbankFX had some sort of data error and basicaaly My 15 min Candles went from 00:15 to 06:45 so I saw absolutely no price action in between....

I come to my desk at work and check out another platform that I have here and sure enough a beautiful channel had built up over night and at seven o'clock this morning we got the long trade which just so happened to line up with all of my rules.... uuuurrrgggghhhh, I hate it when that happens.... It would of been nice to start the new years with such a simple trade...

Still as all of the books say... never worry about loss of opportunity, another is just around the corner.....

But does anyone else use InterbankFX and experience the same problem?

i use interbankfx and this is normal:
Quote from interbankfx in front page:
"IBFX will be closed Dec. 31st-Jan. 1st. We will reopen Tuesday Jan. 2nd at 2 AM (EST)"
You were not able to trade anyway...
They open trade at 7..

OK Fair Enough... So would that mean that there charts and feeds would probably be out of sync as well?

So you say it is normal for them to have data errors and then we won't be able to see hours of price action?

How do you trade then? Surely all your indicators (MACD, Moving averages etc) not to mention trenlines, Pivot points are all out of sync?

Check out the FXCM sucks thread.

On holidays, it happen all the time...
I'm sure they shutdown there server...
But in fact is not a bad thing, i prefere this, than having a bad huge spike error that take all my stoploss and have no choice to argue with IBFX....

There is no error: they just dont have the data for that period.
They will never be out of sync...

Also you indicator only show what you see... So any indicator right now is doing there job:
No saturday data and spike on sunday(Market open), Its the same every week...

The thing is, you never trade on holidays its like news ...
Except if you have a strategy base on this.
This week, is not a super week to trade for my style of trade...

OK you see here is where im confused... Yes the chart started this morning at 7:00 gmt (2am est) but it also started quoting from about 9 last night until just after midnight and then suddenly stoppedn until this morning


So why the 3 hours of data last night?

Ok, i'm not a IBFX employe...
The only one that can answer properly on this question is them...
Maybe somebody close the server, or it was setup for maintenance...

When i look at the chart i see nothing wrong, except of the big move on EUR & GBP

Do not focus on missing data, it happen everyweek ;-)
