Welllll, kinda, start to get itchy when I have to hang on to the position more than a couple of days. I'm short at 1.69334, but, in 20-20 hindsight, would have been better to be patient and wait to short at 1.7 or to have simply stood aside. I have slapped myself several times since then, especially since the short wasn't really technically supportable at the time. Actually, don't know why I missed going long around 1.68 or so ... .

Cryin' over spilt milk (which I naturally hope to be able to lick up later).

{quote} I don't see anything in my statement that suggests any particular "reason", Jason, you just confirmed yourself that you handle positively and negatively impacted trades differently.
Hi GlobalMacro,

I think we both may have misunderstood each other.

What I meant in my previous post when I said in "Yes, but not for the reason you're suggesting." was that there was no reason to worry about trades positively impacted by the bad tick, because there were no positively impacted trades due to the bad tick. That's because no orders executed at the bad tick prices negatively or positively. However, the bad ticks did trigger margin calls on some accounts resulting in trades being erroneously closed out at the prices trading in the actual market prices trading at that time.

I don't see anything in my statement that suggests any particular "reason".
Perhaps I misunderstood your previous post as well.

When you said "What if your trades were positively impacted....no need to file anything, everything will be automatically taken care of ?" I thought you were suggesting that FXCM might be more proactive in correcting erroneous trades that positively impact our clients than those that negatively impact them, and I wanted to emphasize that is not the case.

When a bad tick is identified, FXCM reviews whether clients were negatively impacted to make corrections automatically. However, we still advise who reach out to us about the bad tick to file a trade inquiry, so they can track the progress of their own case, and possibly receive a resolution sooner than they would have through our automatic adjustment process. The fact remains, however, that even clients who don't contact us about this Sunday's bad tick would have had affected trades corrected.

How is it even possible that an untradable outlier that large isn't filtered out to begin with?
The vast majority of bad ticks do get filtered out. However, as you can see from the examples below, something about the bad ticks this Sunday affected priced feeds at several brokers. We've followed up the liquidity providers in question to prevent a recurrence of this issue.

{quote} Hey Billy Yup when this happens I try to trade HTF to see where we are and... This could be a short term top BUT FOMC.... This is often bearish, but cable has rejected many bearish patterns lately Tomorrow evening, I'm waiting to read Hints on US rate increases Hints on taper being changed in anyway If she hints at early rate increases... it will be a very swift fall on cable {image}
This is exactly my assessment ... . On the other hand, they could be deliberately vague on tapering and/or rate cuts, indicating that they are reviewing the issue on an ongoing basis, but that no determination as to a rate hike increase is set in stone. However, there are gruntings that QE isn't doing squat for the economy, and that its usefulness has been exhausted ... . Consequently, I could foresee them saying we're going to leave interest rates alone for now and aren't on a particular schedule to raise them, but that QE tapering can be accelerated because it does not appear to have particular usefulness at this stage in the recovery. Although it's just my opinion, I can't see them saying we're going to raise interest rates at the moment or even in Q3 or Q4 2014. Various aspects of the U.S. economy, after all, remain particularly weak: the unemployment rate isn't particularly stellar; the housing market hasn't rebounded in step with the remainder of the economy; and wage growth is virtually at a standstill.

That kinda statement would still be good for dollar strength (and GBP/USD) weakness.

(Fingers crossed).

I understand completely. The only thing worse than waiting for a good entry to profit is waiting for a weak one to come back. I swing trade too and as such, I build positions into strength or weakness. Been sitting on some NU shorts in the red since last week. Not fun but if my TA is correct, they'll come out ok. 2 of the 4 are now in a little profit.

My usual excuse is that "Hey, guess my timing was a little off ... ." (That's what she said.)
