Trading The SPI - NON-Gann Techniques

We are comming back.

Watch for Fire works???

SYDNEY (Dow Jones)--Electrical power was restored Tuesday after a brief outage in parts of Sydney.
The outage didn't affect ASX Ltd. (ASX.AU), which said it operated on backup power briefly due to the outage.
A spokesman for the Roads and Traffic Authority said 27 sets of traffic lights across the city had been out of action.
The area affected by the outage, which began at 0045 GMT, was bordered by Hunter and Kent streets in Sydney, according to a New South Wales state police spokeswoman.

It wouldn't IB it would be Fortis down. IB just passes on Aus stuff to them, I think!

I don't know either, but somehow IB is not getting ASX data. Iress doesn't appear to have missed a beat. Below is a 5 min chart of XJO running perfectly...

If anyone has SNFE through Iress, it would be interesting to see if it's still running too. I think MF Global use Iress.

Nah they are on IB server not SNFE so who knows!!

But it doesn't matter. I'm long and by looking at other data its still trading and 30 points higher. LOL.

so if it had've went 30 points lower you would just have to take that on the chin? even though you had your stops in with IB before it went down?

Asia has now reversed.

[Bronte]

We are short multi contracts on IB @ 3723 / 32
IB can not tell us if any of our stoplosses have been triggered
So we can not hedge our positions as yet.....Tricom seems ok.
Now 3760 &

Obviously having a back up broker is essential. I do for options, but haven't got one yet for futures.

The SPI is up, just not the contracts themselves.

Maybe is was a bunch of anti-capitalist hippies who have sabotaged the cities electricity supply. All these electrical outages in Sydney are becoming ridiculous (bordering on more then just a coincidence). God dam hippies

Our worst trading nightmare...being "out-of-control"
SPI going up again ...now 3764

I don't think the SPI actually ever stopped - those with other brokers have probably been OK - the line to IB doesn't appear to have good power back up. Time to start searching for a bucket shop...

This mess up would have actually worked in my favour, had I not exited a minute earlier .

We're back on now.
