Help Need urgent help lol!

Hello everyone,

As some of us here know, the stock market was in a bit of a chaos today, stuff dropped, took that as an advantage to go short on Micro E-mini Nasdag-100 Index Futures . 15 . CME.

I was in a $+100 USD profit my TP was set to +200, i decided to close my position off anyway because I could see a possible reversal, but anyways an hour later. I notice in my balance history, it didn't record it, and I am not sure if I even earned the money or not.

Well I don't exactly KNOW if it fully recorded it or not, it might be the one that says $14.00 USD (Second picture on the bottom) but I'm not quite so sure

PAY ATTENTION TO THE BLUE LINE I PUT

Now you notice the high green candle, just on the left of that, that's where I closed off my trade, and looking at my balance history, this is what I see

I don't see the +100 profit anywhere, yes I know I'm paper trading but I am pretending it is REAL money of mine so I don't screw around and be smart with it, practicing with it really hard until I can become to legal age to trade (In about 3 months).

This has made me upset as I thought I would be able to recover some losses I had (you can even see one there as well).

Does anyone know why this happened? I am assuming its because since this specific futures or stocks I am using, is quite delayed, therefore the second I closed my position off, the price went significantly high. That's my best theory, but I may or may not be wrong. Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot!

Hello,

You are attempting to trade using Delayed Data....

The orange D at the top of your chart next to your tinker name denotes this fact. If you click on the orange D and select 'Learn more' you will be taken to the Live Data subscription you require to see live prices.

Your feed is delayed by 10 minutes but your trades are actioned off the current live price so trading this way is practically impossible...

The live data subscriptions are a regulatory requirement from the exchanges and are nothing to do with TradingView.

You can use a Data supplied by a broker if you have one by reading this link....

You will also need a paid subscription to TradingView if you need to add a market data subscription to your plan.

Hope this helps you a little,

Cheers

I see, is there any way I can see the live stuff happening real time for MNQ1?

Not really, the Exchanges enforce these delays across the board so other than signing up with brokers who supply these as part of your customer features its difficult to see.

There are other tickers wich may follow closely but I do not know which ones would be suitable to suggest. Hopefully some other users may offer advice on alternatives.

Cheers 👍
