I had an obvioulsly wrong data point in the 30 min eurusd at 1.1700. Unfortunately this falsely triggered a trade, that I could exit without damage.
Now I have two questions:
First, how did this happen? I first thought that it is data sent form My IB connection, since when hitting F5 the spike would reappear. But, then I saw that this is only true for the 30 min timeframe. In 60 min and Daily charts the spike was corrected on F5. Then I thought is was a chache problem and tried to load the chart on another PC, same spike in 30 min. No spike in IB's TWS though?
The second question is more important. How do I prevent this to occur again?
