Would you have been long short or flat just before the crash?
I would call that a flash cash.
Imagine that crash occurring during an uptrend due to unforeseeable technical problem or news flash so devastating that even real time news still leaves you in trouble ... some pernicious events cannot be avoided.
Though I will be happy to do so in the future, please don't ask me offer up one of my historical bad trades for all to see!
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?

Thanks Panda that gave me a laugh!
I was not asking about order type and should have been clearer.
I only very rarely participate in forums at all, simply because I trade intensely all day.
I have only had time for a forum over the past week due to a codeine prescription.
I have, I think wisely, decided that codeine and intense trading don't mix.
I think that also explains my excessive use of the smiley!
Anyway, by next week, I will be trading intensely all day and living life outside forums the rest of the time.
The question presumed a familiarity with CL and order types.
I have my own extensive experience of CL and just wanted to hear from others about their experiences of issues such as the relationship between slippage, size, bar characteristics, time of day, pernicious news event behaviour, etc.
So anyway, the heart of the question was whether other people have noticed CL idiosyncrasies regarding any of those issues.
The question did not arise from ignorance, lack of experience, or naivete.
The question was intentionally simple to elicit any experiences anyone wants to mention.
I don't expect to hear much if anything from anyone about such issues given the emerging concurrence of opinion about CL.
Lots of I I I
I thought I
ought to clarify!
adieu
