Hi guys,
I went short the Dow on Friday night.
Checked the position this morning, all was well, tidy profit.
Moved my stop down to 1020 and watch the dow fall like a stone.
Just logged in to my finspreads accounts, expecting to see me over a grand up.
But NO, got stopped out at 10210 at 13:15.

To my knowledge I was still in the trade.

Can someone confirm that the Dow futures did actually spike around 1.15pm, or are finspreads trying to take the pi$$ ?

As you can tell, I'm not a happy camper..................:mad:
 
There was a bit of a spike at 13.15 in fact as I was long from early this morning and more by luck than judgement, my profit limits were hit on that spike up!

Thanks for that....................
At least I know I was stopped out correctly.
Very annoying, as we are currently 500 points below my stop

Oh well
 
Erm, I think this is the right chart. Can't be sure - the timing is screwed up.

i disagree your stop was fine, thats a 150pt spike. Thats what stops are for.It could have sparked a rally
:LOL:

You're right Nut.
I placed the stop there for a reason.
Was looking for the Dow to go below 10,000.

I guess I would have liked to have got more out of it.

Still new to this game.

150pts in a minute..........isn't that a lot ?

Not really, the Dow when it so wishes can really rocket when it becomes volatile. It was down 800pts during the day. If it's any consolation I would say whoever caused it probably was badly burned. It may have been a computer trading.

You keep using stops. (y)
