Hi All,

I'm using NinjaTrader 6.5.10008 (latest)

and I'm doing trade management using two target points and trailing the second target while using a stop loss that comes to break even+1 tick.

I ran into two issues today @ the FOMC day trading the ES:

1. I scalped the first few times in the heavy spikes of 2:22pm after the FOMC announcement and all was good (made money) - then a few times my target was hit (you hear the women voice ":target hit) so automatically I'm @ breakeven+1 tick - but then suddenly I see I lost $$$ !!! (this doesn't make sense - I went from +$720 to $120 and then -$120 -this problem occurred several times.

2. After the target was hit - there were some open orders - but I couldn't cancel them - so I figured they weren't active and disconnected from broker and connected again - and the problem was solved.

Needless to say I am angry with this problem - any1 else experience same thing?
:mad:
 
I recently had a problem between NT and Futuresbetting, neither took responsibility so I closed my account with both. Was going to try NT with Interactive brokers to see if they were any better.

What broker you using?
