8/12/2013 NO TRADE (WASDE)

 

Well what to say about this one. After talking to several people who took this trade manually without using the software I can atleast say the software wasnt the problem. No one got filled on this one. The general theory is the slippage was too great and our orders were simply skipped over.

8/4/13 -$450.00 (Aus. Retail Sales)

Well this was disappointing. My first trade with vision and I get massive slippage. I had an 8 tick stop and ended up losing 36 ticks. As you'll notice the spike up and then the immediate spike down happened in the same second so I guess jobb just couldnt put the stop in fast enough. Lots of people took heavy losses from what I read in the chat, between 16 and 36. I also noticed that my take profit would of been hit as i was using an 8 but it was just too fast to fill it. Anyway that's it for now, lets hope things go better for vision financial markets feed in the future. (Go full screen and switch quality to 720p to see the video better)

8/2/13 NO TRADE (NFP)

Well I missed my second nfp today. The issue started with my ninja platform as it wouldn't let me switch over to live account. I just got it setup yesterday and assumed everything was working properly so the mistake was mine for not checking everything. Secondly after speaking with Jay he says the JOBB servers went down around the time NFP was released so lots of people who used the software didn't get triggered at all. It seems if you tried to restart ninja 5 minutes before the news comes out as a lot of people do it wouldn't of let you add jobb to your chart. We now know in the future not to restart jobb before the news just in case this ever happens again. Also nfp spiked 3 seconds early, no idea what thats about. Anyway that's it for now. A bit disappointing but that's how it goes sometimes.Take care and good luck on the next one.
