the best tool that comes with most brokers platforms is a stop loss.

some sneaky platforms put stops on platforms only. some go to the server of the brokers. if the internet gets disconnected, the stops on platforms nerver get triggered.

but if the stops stay on broker server, they can see all people's stop.

{quote} ever lost a i connection or power outage?
Happened today for 6 hours and had I been able to monitor what was going on I would have made money instead of getting stopped out.

I really wasn't to worried about that trade because I wasn't going to loss much in the first place but your right about losing a connection or electric.

I recommend an electrical back up and a second connection either a DSL with a dial up back up connection or cable access also.

there was one hour with about 200 pips. so i would rather stops stay on broker server even if they can see it.

Got two computers, excellent dsl connx, still I'm considering VPS. And even then I worry. This year solar flares could hit your broker's servers, and what then. My point: always set TP and SL. It is an extra protection for your wealth.

imo you can not connect 2 at a time. And yes, it can switch once primary fails to connect.
I have 3g dongle with home wifi. When I loose wifi connection, my 3g gets activated!

It's better that you have a multi wan homing capable router..

Take a look at mikrotik routers
it is highly likely that i'm wrong... so dont follow me!

Your IP traffic, if using dual WAN router will switch to the live connection. Load balancing will manage the connection and switch it.

Yes everyone I agree always use stops and profit takes and taking off stops isn't something I practice doing all the time, just on a few rare occasions have I done it, but everyone is right when I've done it I was taking a huge chance.

Give technology a chance to fail and it will !! That is why anyone trading should have a backup power supply ready to use in a moments time and a backup connection and a backup computer even if its the cheapest piece of crap because it doesn't take a lot of computer power to run Meta Trader.
