This would give me a heart attack and would be unforgivable.
Usually it takes years of "abuse" to cause one.
In my case, an artery in my heart became completely blocked. 100% blocked. I now have two stents in place. Admittedly I put on some weight in the year before it happened and I was a smoker.
Stress can also cause arteries to shrink but that takes time.
It kind of puts everything in perspective. I felt great the morning that it happened, absolutely great! Felt great three hours later as well.
Sorry to get off subject but I was in good shape when it happened; strong, energetic and in better shape than most 20 year olds but that tiny little artery in my heart got blocked. It does not take much to block one. It can be microscopic.
I say this to all no matter how healthy it seems that you are. Go have your heart checked. Please, if you do not do it for yourself do it for your family. Take test to see if their is any blockage in your arteries, it is really a simple procedure but it it does not seem like one and it sounds damn scary if I were to explain it to you.
Good news is is that no permanent damage was done to my heart. I have quite smoking, changed my diet completely, keep my blood pressure in check (no sodium, no processed foods ) and I try to forget that I have two stents in my heart.
Sorry to get off topic.
I am not making light of problems people experienced with downtime.
Keep it in perspective. Sitting in front of a computer screen all day is not good. Get out and exercise and breath in the air.
Since that day I have become somewhat of an cardiovascular preacher among my friends and co-workers and it drives some nuts as I am sure I am doing the same here on this thread.
Sorry once again but I can not help it.

Of course that doesn't stop some people from confusing this forum with an actual support forum and getting all pissy when he doesn't answer a question for a day or two...

Quite the opposite... this is by far the most active broker thread here, and I'm sure that I and most other FF traders who use MBT are happy to have this thread. He doesn't have to be here, so the fact that he is almost every day is pretty awesome, no?

Here is a 500 tick chart of EUR/
USD that I just pulled from the historical server. Why does it look like this?
Notice the volume at the bottom. There should be an indicator that counts the number of ticks so you know how close to end of bar you are.
