It always annoyed Bighog when I called a handle a point

No, it is a point as NoDoji stated

a handle is something else

so far the TST - Ninja pairing offer has been an epic fail. Monday was locked out. Today connections grayed out, stranded working orders and won't connect at this time.

Meanwhile, zen-fire thru Mirus streams flawlessly so that ain't the problem.

Very disappointed in the process with NT platform so far.

I use also TST wiht ninja nad havent faced any problems in 2 weeks

Monday's start was delayed because of TST = Ninja issues as noted in an email announcement from TST support.

Today there was an internet service provider outage between TST and NT that may have been storm related per the email notice from TST support.

Hopefully those connectivity issues are resolved and it's smooth operations tomorrow onward

I would think at least one of your students would be tearing it up. All I hear are crickets......

short CL 86.00 zone and then 85.90 zone were the sell signals. Cover for +100 cents and have a nice day.

the TST - Ninja enabled combine platform was glitched and did not begin operations today. So there was no possible chance for NT - TST participants to work today's session. NBD... just another day in the life of crude oil, albeit no pit session activity

Why would anyone's students be tearing anything up? Are you tearing it up, or is the sound of crickets coming from your keyboard?

Not a good day today! I am going into work late, I stayed home to watch my son while my wife was at school, I should not have traded! But I did, and I didnt have a great setup either in hindsight. But I placed the order and got a really bad fill, I set my stop loss and walked away. Came back to find my position was doubled. I set my stop loss wrong in a hurry. Needless to say I took a big hit on that one.

I am almost back to square one after today! Still up overall, but a bad day for sure.

If you hit that daily loss limit, you will do what most reportedly do and the Patak guy will pocket your "deposit".

Just FYI.....the account you will be trading when you go live (and employed) will only be a few times larger than your deposit.
