2:20pm CDT - Recently I've begun to let faster charts have too much influence on whether I enter a trade or not. Need to fine tune my rules and slow things down.  FOMC sucked for OEC.  They've had many problems this year with chart feeds during fast markets usually resulting in a delay.  This afternoon was no exception.  My Ninja charts told me what was really happening luckily.  I had a 6E system short trade but passed on it (was an 18 pip winner) because "Last Price" on the OEC Trader DOM was stuck 100 pips higher than the "Bid/Ask" which were correct. One consequence was if you were short, you wouldn't be able to place a protective stop order unless it was above last price which was 100+ pips away, or so the DOM thought.  Guess I could have had a mental stop and exited at market if needed.  Trading is hard enough when technology works correctly! Ugh.
