  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.
