Treaded water with failed short signals while monitoring TF's approach to the decennial 1000 number. ...and then the local cable internet crashed from here in the midwest... probably storm related... You have to be prepared for all contingencies while trading futures. That's why you should also place orders with automatic OCO orders. That way, stp's and targets are placed with the broker as the entry order fills. Should you crash at your desktop, the trade at least has that much protection.... assuming the broker doesn't crash too.... Trading involves risk. Be prepared for it.
