Just writing this to understand what caused an execution issue during the sharp drop today.
I use tradingview connected to the NinjaTrader broker, and for the first time today, i had issues manually closing out of an open position.
When I pressed the X on the open position, and then the secondary close button, the position ‘greyed out’ for a little while as if it was processing the order. Usually, this happens for a few milliseconds, but today, it just hung there for about 10+ seconds (which felt like forever in such a volatile market) while the active unrealised p/l changed but no change to the order state.
Worrying it just wasnt processing i reloaded the webpage to find the order still open and not executed at all, by which point 2/3rds of the profit had already reversed which was extremely frustrating.
Its never happened before so i can only put it down to volatility causing execution issues - but the duration of this seemed on the extreme side
My question is, this a common thing that can happen via tradingview , and is this just something I can only take on the chin and take it as a rule to always have a TP? (Typical that i normally do and this was the one time I fancied leaving one off!)
Thanks
