@colm73 its back up

yes!

thanks for reply.
I noticed the fonts and numbers are sharper..
may have been a hardware uodate on their end...I could imagine they swap drives in real time.

clearing cache in my browser was a good idea too.


Quoting 
TT was down. I use AMP for clearing and they were unable to close out my trades because of it. It's frustrating and I am angry and I'm sure the "pick yourself up from the bootstap folks will point out the error I had in trusting one data-feed instead of having multiple. I was under the understanding that a broker could close out positions regardless of data-feed, but boy did I learn a lesson today.

my first thought was being less than pdt account, and a couple day DTE option left hanging (I never leave them overnight)

one of the benefits of futures..you can check in at 6pm catch up to things.

I was logging in at 3, seeing the dip.. Iknew it would climb, scalp some pennies.

lost my chance all day again.
the overall week has been a great move..and I only played with ticks and lost dollars.

That's interesting and surprising. I would think that AMP have the ability to close positions using multiple systems but maybe they are 'TT' centric themselves and don't have another option.
I couldn't log in. Were you logged in and still unable to trade?

Nothing to do with recent outage..
but looking back at my carnival ride with futures options,
I was in search of something similar if it meant less leverage.

I went to trading view, and tradestation combined.. just to play with ticks on MES much more real time...and much less money to win or lose.

my final straw... my power went out within 3 minutes of the interest rate meeting and bet decision making. Glad I did not place an order...stop losses hardly ever kicked in with TT futures plus.

I found I was using the exact same cost of leverage of a MES contract directly, as one ATM futures mini ES option.

Anyway, stop losses, profit targets work...and I love tinkering with indicators.,..and browsed pine script.
and a tick is a tick..realtime. get in and out.
I always end up back at the old school tried and true basics..but worth a gander. LOL

So much more efficient..sharper fonts and faster..
Trading view could be why TT is not updating within their own web versions of stuff.. trading view just blows them away. The TT web kinda reminds me of windows 3.1.
