    I'm talking Futures Market for Swiss F. Based on what I saw it was definitely trading throughout that massive move... (Not forex spot)

    Just wondering if the case is, YES I would have been stopped out. It appears to be the case but wondering if anyone can verify.

    Thanks Luis, yup globex futures is what I'm talking about. (sorry I missed your response)

    The charts I look at show that their was price and volume moving through those levels that I would have been stopped at. Wonder why that was.

    Dunno, from memory I wasn't in font of the screen when the snb made the announcement and missed the early action (few minutes possibly) . Portfolio window on IB Mosaic was showing a huge loss than I noticed something was wrong and tried unsuccessfully to exit. Not sure what happened with futures the minute 1.20 was blasted through but I definetely had to look for liquidity on the spot market.
