I have never had an issue, and have used my charting program (Real Tick) for the past ten years.Tom C.http://www.traderxblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9459815.post-30263693868356313402009-06-24T19:24:37.477-04:002009-06-24T19:24:37.477-04:00Tom, I also shorted BA more or less where you did ...Tom, I also shorted BA more or less where you did (but with the 5 min timeframe), for a nice gain. I have seen your chart (10 min timeframe) and I have compared it with mine: I'm really surprised because <br />"my 5th 10 min bar" it's NOT an inside bar like yours; it's NR but not so narrow like yours and definitively it's not an inside bar. I'm charting with Ninjatrader with data from IB: I guess this might be a problem with the data, but I am wondering the impact that issues like this could have in real trading. What do you think about?...have you experienced something like this before?...Thank you very much in advance!FP A distanciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083326759493880325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9459815.post-29128633934524337052009-06-24T09:01:32.779-04:002009-06-24T09:01:32.779-04:00Hector, it depends.

If I entered the trade well above the ORL (or below the ORH for a long), and I have several positions, and the move down is quick, I may cover at the halfway point as I did with BA yesterday.<br /><br />I also watch the price action at the halfway point...BA left long lower tails over multiple bars signaling that the area was strong support.Tom C.http://www.traderxblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9459815.post-12836795012235968732009-06-24T08:23:57.111-04:002009-06-24T08:23:57.111-04:00Argh.
