Keeps us on our toes I guess, good to keep any complacency at bay, equally a good test of resolve when things go south. Nothing worse than taking a hit only to see impatience was the only reason to close (something I was guilty of some time ago and an expensive mistake).
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

Also got in on the dividend trade, one before drop, 2 on the way down. Didn't get the div adjustment but I am betting that that is because of demo. Will give it a go with real cash small lots next time round

{quote} There was no drop on my feed (FTMO). Anybody saw a drop?
Price feed and dividend adjustments for cfds are broker specific. You will need to look for info from your broker about dividends.

I know IC markets for example(no affiliation) does a dividend adjustment but at a different time, you can see on their website.

Yup, you right ... you wont get the Div on a demo account but at least you are now seeing how this trade works... So be honest with yourself -- if you had a big position on that trade would you have been shitting yourself for over 4hrs till the gap filled...
