I am gonna inject more discretion on my entry and less discretion on my exit. I notice almost every time I got into the trouble, the price is at the top of the recent range and roll over. Hopefully I will work the account back to green this month.
Holy shit. Did you see those 6 point air pockets in S&P emini futures? Are they real? They are happening in seconds whipping back and forth!!
I felt sorry I did not enter my long setup but sitting thru this!! It's still whipping around. P.S. How would you feel make and lose $300 per contract per second back and forth for the next five minutes?
I am surprise the eSignal quote cannot keep up with the market during the storm. Tradestation quotes seem to be the correct one when I placed my short (nicely covered). This is one weird day.
The problem is one well known. Esignal feed is tick by tick, for example IB feed is a compound of ticks transmitted every n sec. When a surge of volume occurs, simply Esignal feed can't transmit all the data efficently. as a result the lag.
Then maybe the market was not as crazy as I saw since I was looking at my chart using eSignal feed...
