Well, a painful day for me after all despite dodging the SNB fiasco. On my real account I have an emergency SL lodged with my broker. It is well out the way because I close my trades manually. Internet went down while the trade was slightly in profit, shortly after entry. When the internet came back again, the emergency SL had been hit. -36 pips rather than the -5 if I had been able to manage the trade myself. But without the emergency SL, and if the internet had been down for longer, it could have been far worse.
Nightmare, where are you located?

I just went onto my spread betting account and can see a tick chart, although cannot select a 233 tick chart, but I see all the ticks individually coming through which are a lot more than registered on NT through my demo account. I reloaded and think I am missing quite a few trades in this market today.

May just be a day watching a little from now.

Just wow... having one of those dayz
Missed so much profit on this trade was silly. My platform froze right after my last post and I was watching price fall heavily and hurried to reopen after closing it and price had dropped more than half of profit. Still managed to take around 18 pips but not the 45 that I just missed by .3 of a pip... fang dang it.

East coast.
I think a lot of brokers are having issues today which could explain the tick disparity.

Good morning Traders,

I will catch up with the thread after trading. I want to mention that FXCM had server issues which explains the problems some of you have been having with your charts and data. My chart looks like crap and will be a difficult trading day with lots of news and messy data. We will not let that mess with us and try to work with the data we do have. This is what my chart looks like.

Trade #1 (GBPUSD 144T):

Short entry upon completion of a 1-1 AB=CD and bullish weakness. My entry on rotation was fairly weak and I was well aware that more confirmation was needed. Price also really never touched the 127 extension of AB. Price never went into my direction and I got stopped out for -15. Knew this was a bad entry.

Trade #2 (EURUSD 144T):

Took an aggressive short trade off a rotation on the 38.2 retracement of a strong bearish surge. Structure was also there as confluence. I was aggressive in my trade management. Risked 12 for 40 and got out with +40.

A scheduled operation last night, Buy Limit, for control of a 1to1 bearish, although, RR, is not optimal, was enough to try it. It was the re testing, MS, and within the context of my expectation, which is 38% W, posted above. Observe the pattern of daily candle, which is leaving, a hammer, suggesting bullish strength, and strong rejection from MS. regards {image} {image}
I hope you have taken advantage of the information, + 88pips Greetings
