Have you ever tested with a small amount, like 3 or 5 lots, to see if NT would be successful in trading an econ number?
eg, leave a buy order above the market with some sort of chase for a few ticks and a sell below the market with a chase for a few ticks. Then a closing order say 5 ticks away from the entry point.
Is the NT, exchange, data line fast enough to accept the order, execute it, report back and then exit the position when the exit order is hit when markets get choppy after a release?
I was curious if you ever tried this. I have tried on breakouts with limited success.
