What the pictures mean to bring across :
The first picture is IG, showing no trades at all from of where they should “wildly” – at 19:00 when Powel began is speech. Trades should have gone in and out all over the place, like previously the trades would have tried to enter, but the system immediately would have thrown out because of the by IG set crazy stop distance.
The second picture shows IB for one account, and that indeed trades go in and out wildly, with the notice that with IB one system per instrument can exist, so just less systems run in such an account. Still you can see the activity.
Combining both pictures, you can see that the activity (volatility) stops at ~ 19:51, the time that Powel was finished (I did not track this exactly), IG immediately entering trades again which they should have done all along, once in “volatile mood” which you can see on the chart itself. Thus, with IB now all stops trading because trades are in for these fewer systems (or don’t go in any more with EUR/USD as the leader of the pack). And thus :
At 19:51 whatever IG (with PRT perhaps) cooked this time, was eliminated again (all trades could enter again).
Yesterday was the very first time that no IG systems were thrown out, but it also was the first time that no trade even entered (or attempted to). This can not exist but it did.
PS.: On a closer look, a first trade entered at 19:39. Below the list of trades from IG with the notice that all “Verkoop” are exits, and the “Koop” are Long entries.
