Good Morning RealTraders:
Well, this was a new one on me today. Here's what happened.
LONG CHF @ 1.3655 @ 01:11. Market moved down to 1.3594. Started a small mid
cycle retracement. Tired from trading the past two days and not paying real
close attention, the pricing seems to stop at 1.3615 for a while. I checked
the datafeed and it seemed fine. Thought the market might be digesting a few
recently released news announcements. Waited and waited. TradeStation server
clocks showed correct time and was ticking along. Next thing I see is 1.3653
and then in a flash of an eye 1.3671.
OUCH !! What the heck happened? Was my entry wrong? No, it was NO DATA FOR
OVER 1 HOUR AND 12 MINUTES.
Lessons learned:
Don't trade unless well rested. You cannot think clearly.
Don't believe that if the server clock works that you are getting data.
Respectfully,
Richard Chehovin
