Electricity cut, semi-auto trade fires - account blown


#1

Was trading the sniper system on a trial account. Started to get better results after weeks of hard work and training. Trading the semi-auto system, the trade fired for an SLZ, as it did so, the next second I was disconnected. In that second, my TP did not find, nor did the SL, so when the market ran against me, and it did big time, I was auto liquidated on the trial account. Lessons learned, in South Africa when the electricity is turned off for hours in a day, ensure back up systems are seamless, because a break in connectivity even for a second can have devastating results.
