Did anyone here get some slippage on a stop today when DOW dropped 500 points in three minutes?
i am glad i didnt trade dow at that time, (waiting for guaranteed stops) on the other hand maybe someone did get positive slippage on a limit order to take profit?
i did get 20 point positive slippage on a TP on DAX this evening (and thats not every day)
i had 2 live trades, 1 on wall st and 1 on us tech.
both went fine, the Tech was +100€ before the drop and the trailing stop got activated where it should, at around 70€ in profit when it dropped
The wall st trade was about -10€ right before drop, i got stopped out at my original stop loss at -70€.
both with 1€ contracts, so obviously my stops worked vs some nasty slippage -400€ or something..
that being said, my god the markets are so volatile at the moment, its been fun but also my trend following strategies are not loving it.
