Hey guys,
I just opened a live account on Tradovate. I have been trading FX for the last 4 years and decided to add another asset to trade. On that note I have been paper trading on Tradingview for a few mnths with the same system I use for FX. Something very unexpected happened and I was looking for some advice or an answer for this issue. I know that in FX the spreads widen at 5 pm [EST]. Nothing crazy, but they widen. This past week I was trading NKD on Tradingview paper trading account and I had 8 [contracts] for a floating loss of $4,150. When 5 pm hit on Friday the loss sky rocketed to $115,000! I am not new to trading, but I am new to Futures. Can someone please tell me whether this was just a glitch in Tradingviews software, or do end of day spreads really widen to such a ridiculous amount ? When I looked at the loss again today it was back to $4,150. Has anyone had a floating loss that ballooned 25x at 5pm here on Tradovate ? My gut tells me it was a glitch in the Tradingview software but I might be wrong which is why I am asking on this forum. Thank you all for your time and I look forward to hearing from some of you and contributing in the future. Thanks!
